Review by Kate Lundin, Environmental Science MBA: 

 FOOTPRINT gives the reader a compact, current and relevant overview of the current global situation in regards to building CO2 levels in our atmosphere and how that is directly affecting our climate stability. By using easy to understand analogies, the writing style allows the reader to follow the author’s personal journey to lowering his personal carbon footprint and empowers the reader to do the same with over a hundred suggestions of energy reducing tips ranging from simple to sincere. Written in a condensed format, fans of Friedman’s Hot, Flat and Crowded, will find this book much easier to pass on and recommend to friends and colleges interested in learning more. 

This book would be an excellent resource in science and math classrooms across the United States since it is written from a very American perspective both figuratively and literally, and keeps the reader engaged.

I would highly recommend this book for anyone looking for a quick and current update on the climate crisis and what they can do to personally help shape our nations and local communities towards taking measures to improve it.
