Indispensible reference book,
This remarkably well-researched, comprehensive work includes chapters on food, building materials, socially responsible investments, clothing, bedding, pets, babies/children, personal care products, recycling, transportation, eco-travel, and more. At the end of each chapter is an extensive list of sources for the green products mentioned and for further information. Much of the appeal of this highly informative book lies in its user-friendly practicality and its reassuring, encouraging advice. Engaging, eye-opening reading that’ll really get you psyched to clean up your act.

|A great reference for everyday life,
I have purchased this book twice now – once for myself, once as a gift – and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy it again. Most of the ideas are easy to implement and are accompanied by clear explanations of the ecologic and economic values of “being green.” The sections are easy to read and generally interesting, and the resources provided within the text and at the end are quite useful. When you implement the suggestions in this book, you will help the Earth and save money, making it a great value in more ways than one. Highly recommended for “greenies” and “non-greenies” alike. This book was written by the folks at “E the Environmental Magazine” (also terrific, and chock full of great ideas for everyday living).

|Fantastic Reference Book,
This book’s finest and most invaluable quality is that not only does it explain the many hazards modern living has bestowed but it also gives you a way out. At the end of every chapter are website addresses, names and contact information for companies that fill the need for whatever it is you’re used to living with (household cleaners, make-up, baby products, energy) but minus the unwanted chemicals or environmental side effects. It provides a solution, not just the problem.
