“If politics interests you, pick candidates who’ll fight for the health of our planet…and work like hell for them,” writes John Javna, America’s bestselling environmental author, in the newly revised edition of his 1990 classic “50 Simple Things You Can Do to Save the Earth.” Javna, a member of the Oregon League of Conservation Voters, encourages readers to “work with LCV on their tough, effective campaigns to defeat anti-environment candidates, and support those leaders who stand up for a clean, healthy future for America.”
Javna’s book is full of tips on bettering our world, from taking action in your church of synagogue, to joining groups like LCV, the Natural Resources Defense Council, and the Rainforest Action Network. In fact, each group has chosen an important issue and provides “Steps for Success” to motivate readers and their peers to protect the planet.
Javna and his teenage children have also launched the website 50SimpleThings.com, a constantly-updated fountain of resources on environmental activism including facts, news, a blog, and a forum. So whether you prefer curling up with a good book or surfing the web, Javna will give you all the tips you need to be an environmental hero.
