Well these two chapters where the best so far I guess. I don't understand why it took Kolbert so long to do so. Seems to me she needed to extend her essay into a book to make some money - paper is made of trees...a 10 pages article would have killed less trees Kolbert. Okay I am done hating for now.
This is great, the fact that she is telling us that our actions are harmful and what exactly we are doing that is harmful. I enjoyed the part in Chapter 7 where she is talking about everything that we do that causes carbon output - even a website to tell us how much! It was simple, interesting, and to the point. Why didn't she do this in the first chapter? I still like my long hot shower, but now I know that I have a larger carbon output!
Chapter 8 was good because it showed in my mind that it is more important to get governments to do something about this problem than the individual people. With the right information, the individuals can bring the right candidates to power.
I feel that even these chapters could have been cut down some, that seems to be her problem - back to my statement of money making. Did she write this book because she cares about the environment or the other green?
