4.0 out of 5 stars A Handy Reference Book, April 26, 1999
By A Customer
It's a great little reference book that you will refer back to again and again. In one or two pages, each topic gives background information, some interesting facts and figures, a list of the promised "Simple Things You Can Do" and, in some cases, a list of additional reference material. Many of the suggested simple things are not only easy to live with, but can save you money, too.

If everyone could do even 5 of the 50 things mentioned in this book, the world would be a lot better off for it.

(Suggestion for parents - buy the book and share it with your children)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for kids, August 24, 2004
By Kelly H (Austin, TX USA) - See all my reviews
I read through this book as a child and it impacted me greatly. Ever since then, I've looked for simple ways to change my habits and routines so as to impact the environment less.

2.0 out of 5 stars Book's effect could be 18,000 times more powerful, if it weren't for the exaggerations, October 24, 2005
By John Burd (Coal Township PA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is great to instill a mindset that what we do as individuals really does effect the environment. And I do care about the environment. So much so that this book bugs me because some of the things it says are incorrect. The errors have kept me from lending it out. For eg. Page 27 lists 'titanium dioxide' as a harmful heavy metal. Then why is that chemical on the ingredients list of white powdered doughnuts? P46 Claims Elephants may be extinct by the year 2000. P48 States that your toilet takes 5-7 gallons per flush! My oldest is a 1953 commode that takes 3 gallons. It is an interesting fact that toilets can make up 40% of your water usage. But where do they get 5-7 gallons?! P66 "The smallest drip from a leaky faucet can waste over 50 gallons a day." I have had 'the smallest drips' that I put containers under until they could be repaired. I never needed a 55 gallon drum!! You get the idea. The book ruins its credibility with exaggeration and overstatement. Its a shame. It is a useful concept.
