It is the best all around book on reducing energy use, reducing carbon
emissions, and saving money that I have seen (and I have looked at a
ton of such books :) ).

It provides detailed descriptions of several dozens of projects, and
provides energy saving, carbon saving, initial cost, cost saving, and
return on investment for each. The projects cover all types of home
energy use as well as transportation.

It is also the first book I have seen that accurately describes the
large impact that electric power plants have on carbon emissions, and
the importance of reducing electricity use.

I got mine and Barnes, but I suspect its available at all the usual
places.

Seeing as I respect your opinions, I went downtown today (using public transportation of course!) and bought this book. Looks like a real winner!

Here’s one that I’ve enjoyed and highly recommend:

‘Natural Home Heating’ by Greg Pahl, published by Chelsea Green.

It’s available at Chapters and elsewhere.

Thanks,

Steve
