This is a very good book to get if you are just learning how to live greenly. If you've already done research or been in the scene for a while, this book doesn't offer new information. However, if you're building a home and need more ideas on how to be green about it, this is a great book for reference and ideas.!

365 Ways to Live Green contains, as you might expect, 365 tips to living a green and sustainable life. The book is divided into 20 sections, and each section contains basic tips to decrease your environmental impact. Tips include common topics like recycling and less common ones, such as cat litter and funeral planning. This is a terrific starting point for people who are new to thinking and acting sustainably. Pocket-sized, printed on post-consumer recycled paper, and costing less than $4.00, this makes a great gift or addition to a green library.

The sections included in 365 Ways to Live Green are:
Thinking
Home & Yard
Where to Build
How to Build
Furnishing
Community
Work
Transportation
Eating
Drinking
Recycling
Clothing
Health/Hygiene
Kids
Vacations
Pets
Holiday
Investing in the Future
Planning Your Legacy
Doing More

Cheesy recommendations. Should sell it back. Should have known, can't remember what I wanted from the book but should have controlled the impulse to buy it.
