The Environment

Welcome to the world of Green Chic. Choosing to be green makes a real difference in the fight against global warming. But did you know that it's also hip, classic and stylish? Offering up dozens of author-tested, earth-friendly ideas, writer Christie Matheson reveals that being chic and saving the planet aren't mutually exclusive.

Enhancing critical thinking skills, this book is an excellent research tool to help readers understand current thinking around green cities. Debating essays include whether cities are more sustainable than suburbs, whether transportation must be green in order for a city to be considered green, and whether urban architecture is practical and efficient.
