The Consumer's Guide to Effective Environmental Choices: Practical Advice from The Union of Concerned Scientists by Michael Brower
This book is a bit dated (from 1999), but most of the advice is still appropriate. The authors do a good job of focusing on the most significant actions people can take.

A simple easy to read guide. Many of the ideas in this book are very simple to put into practice (hint to self) It is so frightening to contemplate how much damage we have done to our planet in just the last 100 (or even 50) years alone and we must start atoning NOW! Read this book start acting on its recommendations NOW!

At this point this needs to be updated to be more effective. Energy prices being what they are now compared to what they were when this was written, a different focus may be made and more economic incentives and programs may be in place. That being said, some of the pieces of advice are likely to still be relevant today.
