David Gershon has created a step-by-step program, à la Weight Watchers, designed to reduce a person's carbon footprint. . . . Replete with checklists and illustrations, this user-friendly guide is a serious attempt at changing American energy-consumption behavior. . . . The timing for a book offering day-to-day solutions to an overwhelming global problem couldn't be better.

(from the article, "A grass-roots push for a 'low carbon diet'")

Low Carbon Diet couldn't be timelier in providing people an action plan for addressing climate change, just when the collective consciousness seems to be bending in that direction. . . . The book helps self-organized teams take action to dramatically reduce their carbon footprint.

A 'how-to' guide for people to change their energy habits. The authors have succeeded in making dieting sound like a win-win proposition: save energy, save money and, most importantly, save the planet.

Eileen Claussen, President of the Pew Center on Global Climate Change

Just as the consciousness-raising groups of the women's movement changed America overnight at no cost to anyone, so can the Low Carbon Diet inspire environmental consciousness-raising groups. Their results can restore the earth rather than destroy it....and at virtually no cost.

FINALLY. . . . there’s the Low Carbon Diet. The program is intelligently and imaginatively built to be user-friendly, easy and fun!! I made new friends, was encouraged that others feel as passionately about safeguarding our planet as I do, and was supported by my LCD Team in taking really significant actions that have made my household carbon-neutral! Amazing!! Now I’m working with new and old friends to bring the LCD program to my community, and finally feeling a sense of hope for our future and the future of our Earth.

The Low Carbon Diet program provided our household a way to learn what our carbon footprint was (shockingly massive) and a way to reduce our impact on the Earth in a fun, inspiring and practical manner. Now I feel much more at peace knowing my values are in alignment with my actions.

I love the Low Carbon Diet. It's easy to follow with all the information in one place. I thought we would be overwhelmed with information, but we weren't. It is clear and concise. The way it is put together sets up a good challenge.

Sergio Diaz, Low Carbon Diet participant

The Low Carbon Diet is amazingly effective at promoting true, sustainable change. The realities of our very green family's carbon consumption were sobering, but David Gershon's program has given us an easy-to-implement plan for dramatically lowering it. In fact, in the past month we have lost 114,550 pounds and we're now carbon neutral!
