This excerpt from "Seven Wonders for a Cool Planet: Everyday Things to Help Solve Global Warming," by Eric Sorensen and the staff of Sightline Institute, published by Sierra Club Books, is an ode to seven everyday devices that are friends of the climate (and your pocketbook, neighbors, health and children).
