⢠how you can buy clean power through your regular power company
⢠which long-distance telephone companies offer competitive pricing and service while returning a portion of their profits to environmental and educational organizations
⢠where to buy everythingâfrom pots and pans to pet foodâso that you can âvote with your dollarâ and feel good about your purchases
Packed with profiles of fascinatingâand sometimes zanyâpeople and a heavy dose of sanity, this book is organized according to the way you really live, making it easy to identify what areas of change are viable for you.
