Review
"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)

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
