“Useful and relevant. . . . Greenberg’s writing is clear and concise. Each section starts with easy tips . . . then wades into bigger, trickier concepts.” —New York Times Book Review

A celebrated writer on food and sustainability offers fifty straightforward, impactful rules for climate-friendly living

We all understand just how dire the circumstances facing our planet are and that we all need to do our part to stem the tide of climate change. When we look in the mirror, we can admit that we desperately need to go on a climate diet. But the task of cutting down our carbon emissions feels overwhelming and the discipline required hard to summon. With The Climate Diet, award-winning food and environmental writer Paul Greenberg offers us the practical, accessible guide we all need. It contains fifty achievable steps we can take to live our daily lives in a way that's friendlier to the planet--from what we eat, how we live at home, how we travel, and how we lobby businesses and elected officials to do the right thing. Chock-full of simple yet revelatory guidance, The Climate Diet empowers us to cast aside feelings of helplessness and start making positive changes for the good of our planet.

This book relieves me and gives me a direction to take!
This is the most hopeful and practical book on climate change I've seen. It gives everyday people, me and perhaps you, doable things we can do that can make a needed difference. Rather than being one of those books that is so clear and depressing, Greenberg's work relieves something fearful in me that, perhaps like you, drags its feet and then feels hopeless.

Excellent resource book with lots of practical things to do and resources. I'm getting a stack of copies of this to give as gifts . Now if I could only find a way to do direct carbon offsets for my local gas and electric company.... I'd like to read more on this topic and more from this author!

Too short and cursory. Read like a shopping list of todos that we all already know and consider. Nothing new here.

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay, But Just Okay
Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2021

I bought the Kindle version after reading a review and comments on an outside website. I didn't see any reviews on Amazon prior to buying the book. It took me about an hour to read. The target audiences for this book are Americans who have some interest in adopting more climate friendly practices, but don't necessarily know what actions are most impactful or people who are looking for a list (with citations) of what actions to encourage friends and family members to consider. For an audience that hears/reads news stories and hasn't done much reading on relative impact of different climate actions this book would be a fine book. For someone who has already read several books on climate friendly practices, this doesn't have much new to add. The one piece that stood out for an audience that has a little reading experience in the genre is the consideration of what companies one chooses to use for insurance and banking. Different financial institutions choose to support the fossil fuel industry more than others. This isn't a new idea, but the author chose to spend more time focusing on this aspect than some other authors. I don't feel like I wasted my time or money on this short book, but I feel some other books do a better job. Those other books also took my much longer than an hour to read.

TL;DR: If you are looking for a list with citations and short commentary of steps to take with regards to climate change, it's a fine purchase. If you've already read anything by Peter Kalmus, Bill McKibben, or Katherine Hayhoe, this isn't really for you.

It was a quick read that serves as a great introduction to practical things individuals can do to reduce their carbon footprint. There are many other books that go into much more detail, but I think this one is an excellent starting point.

4.0 out of 5 stars Informative
Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2021

Lots of information, but most of it is easily found on the internet for free. Granted, this book makes it a nice, easy place to find that information and some of those resources without having to dedicate any time to google. But no breakthrough information, at least not for me. If I had to be critical, I'd say a lot of the suggestions are a bit classist. Worth the buy, if nothing else, to keep the information in the back of your mind the next time you go vote for someone fighting for or against any enviro-based issues.
