If you're wondering how to survive, combat or live through global warming, David de Rothschild has 77 ideas for you. The British adventurer has written the companion book to the Live Earth concert coming up on July 7, and it hits stores and Amazon.com today.

The tips include everything from adopting a glacier to using bamboo flooring to bathing together. When I recently spoke to David over the tele, I told him that I had a good laugh over some of his tips. He said that's what he was hoping for.

"There's so much doom and gloom and all the negative stuff -- polar bears dying and coral reefs dying -- and I think sometimes despair can turn off people from doing anything at all," he said.

Rothschild, 28, has a website geared toward getting kids and teens outdoors. He said the tips in his first-ever book were in the works when he approached the Live Earth folks with the idea of it being a companion to the concert.

"It’s been a lot of fun, you just learn so much, I’m full of facts now, in fact I've become an annoying person," he joked.

De Rothschild said all his royalties will go to the Alliance for Climate Protection.

As for de Rothschild, who's trekked over the Antarctic, Arctic and Greenland, No. 32 is his favorite tip. It's Get Lost in Nature. "When is the last time we went out for a hike or a swim in the stream and reconnected with the thing we are trying to protect?" David describes himself as a nature nut. "I love the natural world and I feel more alive outside than sitting inside."
