1: "Better World Handbook" review
This is an incredible book for anyone interested in finding ways to better his/her life and the world we live in. The suggestions are attainable/realistic with eye-opening suggestions and information.

2: A great idea
This is a great reference guide to help us ordinary folks be responsible consumers. The research has been done for us, now all we have to do is use it. Another reviewer called this book stupid, but I very much disagree. Little changes, big changes -- they are all working toward a healthy goal. Buy this book and share it with friends!

3: What a stupid idea!
What a stupid idea. Small change makes what? .... more small change. Incrementalism is the enemy. When a tsunami is bearing down, shifting the beach chairs a few feet won't do. "Ordinary" people can make huge changes. Just avoid this book and any more of such disempowered thinking.

Written by sociology instructors Ellis Jones Ph.D., Ross Haenfler Ph.D. and Brett Johnson Ph.D., The Better World Handbook: Small Changes That Make A Big Difference is a guide for ordinary people to taking steps in their lives that help contribute to big changes for the better worldwide. Chapters cover how to make a difference by choosing the right bank, buying groceries that minimize negative environmental impact, building strong relationships among friends and family, fostering a socially responsible workplace, voting and getting involved in politics, using alternative forms of transportation and reducing driving to use as little gasoline as reasonably possible, how to get involved in an organization espousing a cause one cares about, and much more. Handy quick-reference icons, numerous online resources, extensive notes, a helpful checklist, and an index round out this one-of-a-kind guide to not only improving oneself, but also improving the world at large. Highly recommended.
