The Lazy Environmentalist: Your Guide to Easy, Stylish Green Living by Josh Dorfman, published in June 2007

From The Introduction:
"Designers are saving rain forests. Fashionistas are clearing toxins from the soil. Architects are rolling back global warming. A new wave of eco-conscious activists is stimulating fresh approaches to environmental challenges. The market is their arena. Organic cotton, bamboo, and certified sustainable woods are their materials. Hybrid engines and solar power are their technologies. Stylish, high-performing products and services are their tools of change.

These innovators make it easy for us to integrate environmental awareness into our lives. They understand that while so many of us are concerned about the environment, we don't always have the time, energy, or inclination to do something about it.

We are lazy environmentalists. This is our moment.

The Lazy Environmentalist is your hands-on guide to the best of easy, stylish, green living. You can start today."

The Lazy Environmentalist In The Press:
"You see, he wasn't brought up sans electricity and red meat by hippie parents, though he jokes about throwing Saturday bake sales as a child in honor of his family's "cause of the day." And, OK, there was the time he was kicked off a kibbutz after only a week for organizing a labor protest. But, he also has a solid business background and his environmental epiphany came while he was selling bicycle locks in China..."
