Personal Review: The Better World Handbook: Small Changes
That Make A Big Difference by Brett Johnson
Most of us want to do what is right but lack the proper information to
realize our deepest values in action. We want to save the rainforest,
purchase products that are ecologically sound, end war, famine, and every
other ill that plagues humanity. However, we lack a clear understanding of

how our everyday actions shape the world. This highly informative book
will help you express your values in action.
The "challenges" this book outlines include: economic inequality, Third
World debt, corporate sweatshops, war, militarization, the death penalty,
media violence, natural resource depletion, air pollution and climate
change, ecosystem destruction, overpopulation, lack of democracy, money
in politics, media monopoly, inequality of women, racism, heterosexism,
inadequate hHealth care, prisons, advertising overload, commercialization
of childhood, materialism and overconsumption, fragmented communities,
and finally a certain loss of our humanity.
Not to worry, though, there is no reason for cynicism. The authors are
young, vibrant, and optimistic about social change. The is no pessimist's
rant. In fact, section one, "the cycle of cynicism," actually deals this
problem head on, offering many hopeful alternatives.
The rest of the book is action-oriented. Included are hundreds of small
things we can implement in our everyday life: including pracical advice on
banking and investing, shopping, food, personal lifestyle choices, friends
and family, community, home, work, media, politics, travel, and
involvement with organizations.
The variety and quality of the recommendations show extreme breadth of
research and awareness on the part of the authors. The amount of
references is staggering: including links to organizations, further reading
suggestions, alternative media venues and action allert email lists.
By far and away the most practical and informative resource available for
those interested in living an ecologically and socially ethical life, "The
Better World Handbook" is nothing short of a bible for the new millennium.
Pick up a copy and start living in accord with your values today.
