Protecting our environment is one of the biggest issues facing our planet today. But how do we solve a problem that can seem overwhelming-even hopeless? As Diane MacEachern argues in Big Green Purse, the best way to fight the industries that pollute the planet, thereby changing the marketplace forever, is to mobilize the most powerful consumer force in the world-women.
“If you take just a few suggestions from Big Green Purse, you will be on your way to being part of the solution instead of part of the problem.”
—Laurie David, founder of StopGlobalWarming.org and a producer of An Inconvenient Truth
