Media Reviews
This little book could change your life. Read it and use it and give it to anyone who is a parent, a grandparent, an aunt or uncle or citizen of the world who believes that we should leave the world as we had the luck to find it. This earth is not ours it is merely lent to us for our lifetimes and this book shows us how we may return it well looked after, rather than abused. This book inspires, educates and empowers. * Helena Bonham Carter *
If ever a book could change the world, this is it. No more excuses for wringing our hands in powerless despair while the planet dies. In this treasure chest of information, Lisa Harrow has given every one of us a mighty weapon. Get out there and use it! * Nicholas Evans *
Lisa Harrow has written a comprehensive and annotated guide to websites oriented to useful, local activities that you can take to help create a sustainable future. It is introduced by her husband Roger Payne, who is the co-discoverer of whale song and one of my heroes. It is a remarkable little book. Buy it. And use it. * Professor Lord Robert May, Oxford University *
I have seen the dying coral in the South Pacific, in the Caribbean and in the Sea of Cortez. I have tasted the smog in Los Angeles and Manila, and I have seen buildings crumbling into the streets rotted by pollution in Mexico City. I have witnessed the monumental waste of resources all over the world, and the governments' inertia or simple indifference. Now Lisa Harrow has given us a handbook to help each of us make a personal start on doing our bit to preserve the planet for future generations. * Patrick Stewart *
What Can I Do? is a joy. May it be kept handy by all who need a quick, useful answer to the question posed in the title. * E O Wilson *
