With the growing awareness of our environmental crisis, more and more people want to know the impact of every decision they make, from where to live to what kind of food to eat. This book includes maps and essays on many aspects of the environment and is divided into three sections: "Close to Home" - looking at issues such as the quality of food and water, energy-efficiency of appliances and ways to reduce waste; "A National View: the US and Canada" which looks at environmental rankings and statistics for 1000 cities and towns; and "Global Perspectives" which provides environmental profiles of 146 countries.
