Do you feel that you have to change your whole lifestyle to live green? Would you actually like to make more sustainable choices, but still enjoy that long showers and buy your stylish clothes, driving your car to work etc.. Then listen to Josh Dorfman’s lecture held at the Google Academy. Or buy his book “The Lazy Environmentalist”. As Dwell magazine states: “…a guide to going green without resorting to Birkenstocks and brown rice casserole.”
