If you’re still looking for new ways to turn your life into a more environmentally conscious one, the internet serves as a good source for information. However, going one step beyond that may lead you to the book store and there you can find dozens of books with tons of approaches to greener ways of living. If global warming is your number one concern, you should check out The Live Earth Global Warming Survival Handbook by David de Rothschild.

If you’re more interested in basic guides about saving the planet one step at a time or greening your life within your own means, you may want to check out The Green Book which features various celebrity writers or The Lazy Environmentalist by Josh Dorfman.

The Live Earth Global Warming Survival Handbook, companion to the Live Earth concerts, offers over 50 skills and tips for putting an end to climate change. This book also offers a guide to resources for those who are eco-coconscious.

While global warming is certainly important, perhaps you would like to start smaller. If that’s the case, The Green Book is your best bet. The Green Book offers little, practical solutions to change – turning off the tap while you brush your teeth and refusing ATM receipts. The book mainly features celebs such as Will Ferrell, Justin Timberlake, Jennifer Anniston and Ellen DeGeneres who each share their solutions to moving toward a greener lifestyle.

If these books are still too much and you are looking for an even easier approach to becoming more aware of the environment, The Lazy Environmentalist is probably the book for you. Lets face it – everything is consumer based and it may be hard to go green right now, but author Josh Dorfman offers new, eco-conscious (economical and ecological) solutions to green your life in ways you never thought possible.

Whether you’re preparing to head to a tropical destination, gearing up for summer days on the beach a little early or if you’re sitting inside, out of the cold, you should check out these books and get reading.
