"Yes, there is!" says Jason Czarnezki. Writing as a lawyer and environmentalist, he addresses the small personal choices that individuals can make in order to have a positive effect on the natural world. Czarnezki compellingly describes the historical and contemporary forces in the United States that have led to a culture of "convenience, consumerism, and consumption." He also investigates the individual decisions that have the worst environmental impacts, along with the ecological costs of our food choices and the environmental costs of sprawl. Ever aware of the importance of personal choice, Czarnezki offers a thoughtful consideration of how public policy can positively affect individual behavior.--Publisher's description. 606 $aEnvironmental law$zUnited States 606 $aEnvironmentalism$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aEnvironmental responsibility$zUnited States$xCitizen participation 615 0$aEnvironmental law 615 0$aEnvironmentalism$xSocial aspects 615 0$aEnvironmental responsibility$xCitizen participation. 676 $a344.73046 700 $aCzarnezki$b Jason J.$01336408 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910671425703321 996 $aEveryday environmentalism$93052844 997 $aUNINA
