Environmentalist entertainers Laurie David and Matthew Modine help families find small ways to create a better future for the planet. Their goal isn't to inspire huge lifestyle changes, but to introduce simple alternatives that can make a big difference. Anyone can save ten gallons of water by cutting two minutes off a shower, cut energy use by using compact fluorescent light bulbs, or produce less trash by ordering ice cream in a cone instead of a cup. At times, David and Modine give off a know-it-all attitude, but the tips Ball highlights are simple enough.
