50 WAYS TO MAKE YOUR HOUSE & GARDEN GREEN

Book ID/图书代码： 07750007B17722

English Summary/英文概要： Climate change is at the top of many people’s concerns, but it’s not always clear what the solutions are. We are ready and willing to make changes to our lifestyles, but often get confusing advice about which are the best ones to make. Do we all have to put on hair shirts, or is it possible to live a comfortable, enjoyable greener life? These books will show you how to make small and big changes in a positive and practical manner. Accompanied by full-colour illustrations and photographs, each book will give you 50 of the best ideas to make your house (and garden) greener, save water and energy and be a greener shopper and traveler, without asking you to turn your whole life upside down or turning you into a bore.
As founder of the Alliance Against Urban 4x4s, Sian has been instrumental in influencing London’s congestion charge and its punitive rates for unnecessarily large cars. The tide is turning and sales of 4x4s are falling while bike purchases have risen (to 4.5 million in the UK in 2004). But Sian is not asking you to give up cars and never to go on holiday abroad again, but will show you instead how to reduce your carbon footprint in small but effective ways. Similarly, we are now saying no to carrier bags and asking questions about the antecedents of the cheap clothes we buy. Sian will look at the choices we can make, not just in consumables, but also in our food purchases, gifts to friends and family, in restaurants, and beauty services. Change the world without changing your life.

About the Author/作者介绍： Siân Berry is the Green Party’s candidate for London Mayor in 2008 and is a founder of the successful campaign group, the Alliance Against Urban 4x4s.

Siân was one of the Green Party’s Principal Speakers until September 2007 and was previously national Campaigns Co-ordinator. She stood in the Hampstead and Highgate constituency in the 2005 General Election and has campaigned in her local area for more affordable housing and, nationally, to promote renewable energy and local shops.

Famous for the mock parking tickets created by Siân in 2003, the Alliance Against Urban 4x4s is now a national campaign and the group recently celebrated persuading the current Mayor of London to propose a higher congestion charge for big 4x4 vehicles and other gas-guzzlers.

Siân studied engineering at university and her professional background is in communications. These skills give her a straightforward and accessible approach to promoting green issues, focusing on what people can do today to make a difference, and on what governments need to do to make greener lives easier for everyone.

As spokesperson for the Alliance and a well-known reen Party figure, Siân has received wide coverage in national and international newspapers and has appeared on numerous TV and radio shows, from Radio 4’s Today programme to Richard and Judy. Her calm, cheerful and persuasive advocacy has stimulated a lively public debate about 4x4s, and has helped to raise the environment further up the public agenda.
Sian Berry曾經是英國Green Party的倫敦市長參選人，雖然沒有當選，但她維護綠色環保的精神引起廣大人民的重視。Sian對於宣揚環保的議題不遺餘力，她也常在關於環保的國際新聞出現，現為Green Party的發言人，及英國組織「Alliance Against Urban 4x4s」的創辦人。
