EVERY DAY IS EARTH DAY by Harriet Dyer
This book is about realistic and practical ways to lower your carbon footprint.
It's a depressing book with staggering statistics and it left me with an urge to make some small amount of difference.
The suggestions for making an impact were easy to understand and go beyond recycling and lower energy usage appliances.
It also talked briefly about the people around the world that are desperately trying to lessen the worlds impact on Earth.
Wow, I feel like such a parasite!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks to @netgalley and Andrews Mcmeel Publishing for this advanced copy!
Very enlightening and helpful, useful information!

Thinking about/visualizing my personal carbon footprint has always been very hard for me. This book is thoughtfully organized and provides great infographics to further illustrate the impact a person can have on the environment giving their personal choices.
I think the book provides a great starting space for someone just beginning to think about their environmental impact. However, I didn’t find this book to be very intersectional in regard to its proposed simple solutions. I also wish the solutions had been more fleshed out in general.
Overall, I’m excited to look deeper into this topic with further reading!

Short practical illustrated guide to how we can all make changes for the betterment of the planet. While some of the advice is a bummer, for me giving up coffee is a no go, everyone can at least implement some of the suggestions to make a difference. After all, it's the only planet we've got.
Thanks to Netgalley for a copy. All opinions are my own.

"Every Day is Earth Day" is a vibrant and relatable guide to understanding the earth's climate crisis, plus what can be done about it. This is aimed towards middle grade readers., however some things like insulating their home is really not directed towards that age range. There are a lot of statistics that kids might not care about but the author does try to explain them in terms they would relate to in the beginning of the book which I found nice.
There are some great and manageable tips for becoming more eco-friendly and I appreciate any piece of literature that helps to promote this and disseminate climate data!

For someone that is already very conscious of their carbon footprint, I was really happy to be given the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my honest review.
The book was clear, beautifully illustrated, concise and to the point. It didn’t dance around the subject of climate change being something that is a minor problem for the planet, it really drove home that our generation is the first to see the major effects of climate change and the carbon footprint we are leaving behind.
As mentioned before, I’m already fairly conscious of what is happening to our beautiful planet, but this book gave me more motivation to do my part in taking care of the Earth, and also gave me new ideas on how I as an individual and my family can achieve that.
This book is great for the seasoned eco- warrior, and also someone who is new to the environmentalist world and is looking for a great introduction.

In Every Day is Earth Day, Harriet Dyer gives a primer for those concerned about global warming and their carbon footprint. Dyer opens with facts and figures about the realities of climate change and the science behind it. She has done a good job of making the information easily understandable to the reader while not sugar coating the problems we are facing. Dyer also presents actionable items that we as individuals can undertake to reduce our carbon foot print. The actions are divided by area of life, such as food, travel, or cleaning. Given the large number of suggestions provided it's likely that everyone will be able to find at least a few steps they can take to reduce their carbon output.
The book was well designed, with graphics and images throughout. Most information is presented in easily digestible bullets or infographics, rather than in lengthy paragraphs that might bog down a reader who is new to the subject.
I was disappointed that there were not any citations or references included in the book. I understand that this is a popular science book, not targeted at academia, but sources should always be provided when presenting scientific data and statistics to the reader. It increases the author's credibility and gives the reader an easy way to start to do additional research if they wish.
If you've long been concerned about climate change or have done significant research on the subject, this probably isn't the book for you, but it is a great introductory guidebook to the topic. While Every Day is Earth Day would definitely be of interest to an adult audience, I also believe it would be great for high school aged readers (perhaps as part of a science curriculum) given how accessible Dyer has made the subject.
