Plenty of New Yorkers want to lessen their share of environmental burden, but simply don’t know where to begin.

“By most accounts, New York is already America’s greenest city, simply because people live in smaller homes and rely on public transit. But with the help of Ben Jervey’s comprehensive guide, New Yorkers can now take that unconcious environmentalism and extend it with a few powerful modifications of their ways of life. If they do, then someday Gotham will join places like Oslo and Stockholm as truly ecological metropolises.” -Bill McKibben, author The End of Nature
Covering energy consumption, food, household products, transportation, events, clothing, recycling, recreation, and much more, The Big Green Apple presents easy-to-understand information about the environmental implications of typical city life, and offers pratical advice for improving one’s own relationship with the city’s greater ecology.
