I am a very green person to begin with so a lot of the chapters in this book were about subjects I was already familiar with. But I love it for the recipes and I think it would be a great book for anyone who's thinking about living a greener lifestyle. It's well-written and well-organized so you can green up your life one step at a time.

I've read several books with similar content and didn't think this book would say something I haven't heard already. Wrong! Micaela Preston's book is great. I love the format of "buy it" and "make it". Someday I'll have time to make my own cleaners and beauty products, but until then I have better choices on what I can buy. Here's an example of something I didn't know: most plastic shower curtains are toxic, releasing fumes into your bathroom that you breathe in. You can purchase safe shower curtains at IKEA -- one of only a few retailers to stop selling the toxic version. Check out this book. You'll be glad you did.

I like how Preston's book gathers the essentials and presents them in an easy to use format. I've read and clipped out many newspaper and magazine articles on this subject...if I could only find them. This book allows you to jump right to a specific topic and in minutes you are prepared to make wise choices at the grocery or department store. Even better, you may discover that you don't need to leave the house at all - for example, there are instructions on how to make your own cleaning supplies from inexpensive ingredients you may already have in your cabinets. I also appreciate the web links that steer you toward more info on any topic. This keeps the book to a reasonable size, and will make it more likely to be referenced again and again. My friends and family will find this book under the X-mas tree later in December!

Very useful
This book is great for someone interested in going "green" but doesn't know where to start. Some of it I found too extreme but the change is meant to be gradual.
