Book Review: "Good News for a Change: How Everyday People are Helping the Planet"

I've just spent the last few days reading a book called "Good News for a Change: How Everyday People are Helping the planet". If you happen to be a bit of an environmentalist and/or are feeling a little down and wondering what good could be happening in this world then this is the book for you. I actually found it quite inspiring just due to the fact that there is so much out there that is amazingly happening and the news on TV/Radio/Internet just doesn't ever cover it. If it doesn't have an ambulance in it or some kind of news on profits then the media outlets just don't seem to care.

Anyways, this book will take you around the world and talk about the really cool and amazing projects that are going on that are unbelievably turning back the clock on the rampant destruction that has been going on with this planet. There are a lot of people who are helping to make this place a better place to live and succeeding at that! Makes me want to get out there and help out. So, I probably will.

The book also talks about some of the world factors that are involved and I have to say that together with a few other books I've read through, the world is actually starting to make a bit more sense now. Not that much of it is good sense, but the pieces are coming together in a much broader way than I thought.

Anyways, sorry for the off topic post but I really feel that this book is something that others should be aware of if not already. Keeping in mind the book is a few years old, I would think that quite a few people are already aware of it and have read it, but I didn't know until just lately.. so maybe there are others too. The book can be found here if you need a reference to it to pick it up at your local book store or something. Maybe just buy off of Amazon, seems to be cheaper.
