Review: A Plan to Save the Planet by Glenn Weinreb

A Plan to Save the Planet by Glenn Weinreb

A scathing rebuke of incrementalism in the face of an undeniable climate crisis, A Plan to Save the Planet: How to resolve climate change at the lowest cost and in a way that is politically feasible by Glenn Weinreb is a well-penned thesis that makes a concerted attempt to redirect the future.

Review: World Climate: Causes, Effects and Solutions by Terje Instefjord

Review: Organize This! By Vali G. Heist

Comedian George Carlin pointed out that “A house is just a place to keep your stuff while you go out and get more stuff.” In recent years it seems that the average American single-family house (a house that has grown from under a thousand square feet in 1950 to over 2000 square feet in recent decades) is no longer big enough keep all that stuff while we are out buying more.
