From Barnes & Noble

Award-winning photographer Philippe Bourseiller believes that one environment-friendly action a day can forge a path toward saving the earth. But his 365 Ways to Save the Earth is far more than a year of daily admonitions ("Turn off the tap while you brush your teeth." "Drive more slowly.") Bourseiller, a five-time winner of the prestigious World Press Prize, has created a stunning volume of 365 color photographs of the natural world at its most resplendent. After perusing these astonishing pictures, who would not want to protect the earth?
