This book was written in 2009 and it narrates a year of the author and his family's life, when he decides to live without polluting.
The book not only narrates the struggle of a writer who tries to be eco-friendly in New York, but also gives a lot of updated information related to the environmental abuses and problems that are leading the humanity towards an unkown future. He tries to find alternatives to every aspect of his life that produces waste and a negative effect on the planet. He doesn't only stop taking the car, but he also stops buying products that are not local. At some point of this project he even stops using any thing that works with electricity. With all the changes he makes in his life, he tries to show to the population that although the earth is in real danger, every individual can change easily some of the behaviors and attitudes of their lifes that have an impact on the environment. With his example he shows that it is not too much of a sacrifice to make some changes in oneself's life in order to stop the progress of the global warming or the extinction of many animal species. He also makes the reader realize that choosing an environmentally friendly life has many benefits on mood and social relations and can make you feel more complete and harmonic.
