Coffee Table Talk

Kick the Fossil Fuel Habit: 10 Clean Technologies to Save our World by Tom Rand

I love coffee table books for their gorgeous images and thick, lovely paper stock. But usually, my coffee table is filled with fashion tomes that are heavy on physical weight (I consider it a workout just lifting them over to the couch to have a flip-through) but light on weighty issues. I adjusted that ratio when I recently added Kick the Fossil Fuel Habit: 10 Clean Technologies to Save our World to the mix. I’ll admit it: being fossil fuel savvy is not my forte. I’m pretty sure I’m a culprit, but I don’t know what to do about it. I’m not alone—and that’s why author Tom Rand wrote this book. In this impressive—and important—photo-essay digest, he offers 10 renewable energies that we could and should be using instead of fossil fuels. From the sun (Fact: the sun that hits just 1% of the Sahara contains enough energy to power the entire world) to the ocean to transportation, he gives us step one: understanding our options in an easy-to-understand format. So that, we can start to make small changes that will make a big difference in our future.
