A Sierra Club Holiday Survival Guide:
How to Win Arguments and Influence People

Are you likely to be one of the only environmentalists at the dinner table during the holidays? There's no reason to worry -- use this handy guide to keep your crazy uncle from scoring any points and to help your confused cousin make better green choices. You'll find ready responses to all the most predictable dinner-table arguments. Who knows, you might even make a few converts!

  • Spar a few rounds with grumpy Uncle Burt, a Tea Partier and talk-radio fan who treats Fox News as gospel.

  • Help coal-booster Aunt Mim understand the reality of coal power.

  • Educate the sweet but confused Cousin Mervin about the facts of global warming.

  • And face off with the ever-feisty Sis who may just show you a thing or two about being green.

  • Share your own stories, tips, and hints in our Holiday Survival Support Group.
