20_sweater-500-v2.jpgTHIS book exists. I only wish I had made it up. But some things are beyond me. Other things are beyond parody. Tips include:

Wear a sweater
Share a bath
Build a bat house
Green is the new black

The official wind-powered website says:

Green note: The book will use vegetable-based inks printed on Revive 100 Offset, a 100% post-consumer waste paper stock with Forest Stewardship Council certification.

Words you can eat! And:

The Live Earth Global Warming Survival Handbook presents 77 essential skills for stopping climate change-and for living through it. But this is no ordinary “77 Things You Can Do to Save the World.” The Global Warming Survival Handbook is a fun, compelling, and sly deconstruction of a survival guide, teaching us not simply how to change a light bulb, but how to change the way we live-all with a great sense of humor, a grain of salt, and real science to back it up. Think of it as the Boy Scouts Handbook crossed with World Changing: A User’s Guide for the 21st Century atop the Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook.

Open it up – it doubles as a hat to keep off the solar wind and monsoons. Or you beat people over the head with it…
