Is anyone familiar with the book "The Consumer's Guide to Effective Environmental Choices: Practical Advice from the Union of Concerned Scientists"? (circa 1999)? It analyzes the environmental impacts (air and water pollution, global warming impact and habitat/land consumption/use) for various consumer choices and says which ones are having the biggest impacts, and which are not so much making a hill of beans of difference (paper napkins, disposable diapers).
They used a computational model to analyze it all, but I wonder if there is any more recent study that may have come out or of anyone reviewed their methods etc and found them faulty? I talked with Brower and he has not done a more recent model and is working in a different field now and so was unfamiliar with current work. Deadline next week.
