More on the books and card game:

The Consumer's Guide to Effective Environmental Choices
Authors: Michael Brower, Ph.D. and Warren Leon, Ph.D.
The first comprehensive look at the full range of modern consumer activities, identifying those that cause the most environmental damage and those that cause the least.

Thoreau's Legacy: American Stories about Global Warming
This new anthology from the Union of Concerned Scientists and Penguin Classics brings together established writers and fresh voices to inspire us with personal stories and reflections on global warming.

The 67 pieces of writing and art included within are drawn from nearly a thousand submissions about beloved places, animals, plants, people, and activities at risk from a changing climate, and the personal efforts people are making to save what they love. A foreword on global warming from author Barbara Kingsolver helps to set the context.

Cool-It! card game:
Cool It! is the new card game from UCS that teaches kids about the choices we have when it comes to climate change—and how policy and technology decisions made today will matter.

The game enables teachers and parents to talk about global warming in a fun and hopeful way. Kids, meanwhile, will learn that all of us make choices that determine whether the world warms a little or a lot, and which of those choices reduce global warming emissions.
