Inconspicuous Consumption: The Environmental Impact You Don't Know You Have
Tatiana Schlossberg
"A compelling-and illuminating-look at how our daily habits impact the environment."--Vanity Fair "If you're looking for something to cling to in what often feels like a hopeless conversation, Schlossberg's darkly humorous, knowledge-is-power, eyes-wide-open approach may be just the thing."--Vogue "Shows how even the smallest decisions can have profound environmental consequences."--The New York Times From a former New York Times science writer, this urgent call to action will empower you to stand up to climate change and environmental pollution by making simple but impactful everyday choices. With urgency and wit, Tatiana Schlossberg explains that far from being only a distant problem of the natural world created by the fossil fuel industry, climate change is all around us, all the time, lurking everywhere in our convenience-driven society, all without our realizing it.
