An informed and informative guide from a mother daughter team dedicated to saving the environment,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Going Green: A Wise Consumer's Guide to a Shrinking Planet (Paperback)
America has the biggest carbon footprint than any other country in the world - how can the everyday citizens do their part to reduce it? "Going Green: A Wise Consumer's Guide to a Shrinking Planet" is an informed and informative guide from a mother daughter team dedicated to saving the environment. Explaining the ecological costs of everyday items that you wouldn't think have much effect and alternatives available to each of them, "Going Green" is ideal reading for any consumer who worries about the world of tomorrow. Critically important, "Going Green" is an enlightening and educational work that should be a part of all academic and community library Environmental Studies reference collections and supplemental reading lists.
