Book Description

March 3, 2009 True Green (National Geographic)
Whether you are purchasing, renovating, or just trying to maintain your current home, True Green Home is the perfect go-green guide. Utilizing the same straightforward and fresh design of the earlier True Green books, this inspired reference provides 100 simple yet potent ways to incorporate environmentally friendly living—inside and outside of your home. Authors Kim McKay and Jenny Bonnin believe we can all create a sustainable environment, and they show you, in a positive, easy-to-implement way, how to start with your own living space.

Each illustrated spread reveals a tip that’s practical and manageable, and explains how it will help the environment. Try the kitchen staple of baking soda and a little water to clean coffee and tea stains. Continue the greening outside by using companion planting and native plants to keep pests at bay and invite insect eaters such as birds into your garden. Simple yet authoritative, True Green Home is an indispensable roadmap to environmental preservation.

2.0 out of 5 stars Ideas Without Substance, July 19, 2010

This review is from: True Green Home: 100 Inspirational Ideas for Creating a Green Environment at Home (True Green (National Geographic)) (Paperback)
This book has no depth. Don't let the size fool you it is less than 25% text per page and 75%+ of pictures that look nice but add no value to the book.

Each item is a concept (ex. "save water"), a picture that is related to the concept (ex. a faucet running water), brief blurb with some statistics (ex. the average home uses over 100,000 gallons of water a year), and a suggestion with no further details (ex. look into a rain water collection system).

I think the authors spent more time and effort on pictures than content. What this book needs is the type of project, the benefits of doing the project, the cost, and an example of an implementation.

For bonus points, an analysis of the pros and cons of different solutions to the same problem would have been nice too.

This review is from: True Green Home: 100 Inspirational Ideas for Creating a Green Environment at Home (True Green (National Geographic)) (Paperback)

I am truly enjoying the True Green Home book. It is compact and filled with wonderful, but practical ideas for greening your home. It is also the perfect size to drop in your bag when you travel and read on the train, bus or plane.
