The Live Earth Global Warming Survival Handbook

The Live Earth Global Warming Survival Handbook is the official companion volume to Live Earth. The book presents 77 essential skills for stopping climate change—and for living through it. It is a fun, compelling, and sly deconstruction of a survival guide, think Boy Scout Handbook crossed with WorldChanging atop the Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook, that offers equal parts tongue-in-cheek suggestions, practical advice, factual information, and bluesky dreaming of ways to save the world.
Each skill is presented on a spread featuring a bright, fullcolor instructional illustration, a brief introduction to the skill and its core ideas, a set of instructions, spin-off ideas, and scientific and environmental facts. The book also includes a resource guide that provides useful resources for the ecoconscious reader.
On July 7, 2007, one of the biggest audiences in history will see 24 hours of nonstop concerts broadcast from around the world, featuring today’s biggest musicians, singers, and groups including Bon Jovi, The Police, and Madonna. The Live Earth concerts will reach more than 2 billion viewers and more than 1 million concertgoers. Live Earth also marks the beginning of the Save Our Selves campaign, a 2-year-long ad and PR effort that will continue the work of Live Earth.
