I just received this book today and was so impressed by its presentation and great ideas. The size of the book is somewhere between a paperback book and a coffee table book so it's perfect to carry with you as well as a great little gift to give. I'm planning on buying more so I can give them out as housewarming gifts. The ideas are fresh and innovative and keeping in mind with being eco friendly. Highly recommend getting it! And will wait to get the follow up book, Simply Green Giving.

This book is a great way to get you thinking of ways to celebrate responsibly without sacrificing style! As a children's event planner I am always looking for ways to celebrate and yet preserve our precious environment so the parties can continue for generations to come. Danny brings a new perspective to the concepts of reduce, recycle and reuse. I am excited at the many concepts that can be adapted or just plain copied to create many chic parties to come. Even if your faorite color is pink, with this book you can still go green.

Some of the ideas are over the top and not likely I would do many of the ideas, even though I'm very creative. It's still promoting bottle water and paper /plastic plates, when we should be promoting tap water and reusable porcelain plates. What about powder ice tea in glass cup or drink mix? Would love to have seen more practical ideas that any busy person can do and have a really eco-friendly party that doesn't leave bags full trash at the end of the party. Ideas needs to send a stronger message for earth friendly parties.

I saw this guy on the Today Show and he was very captivating and creative. His book is the same way, with pretty cool ideas on how to make gatherings unique using "green" products. It makes a great gift, too.
