Review

Charlotte biologist Sally Kneidel and daughter Sadie Kneidel, a community activist in Greensboro, show how to make smart green choices in food, transportation, housing and clothing... The book is loaded with great facts. --The Charlotte Observer, February 2009

Product Description

Going Green focuses on the biggest environmental culprits of the American lifestyle--our diet, our housing, our clothing, and our transportation--and provides practical, effective steps we can all take to reduce our carbon footprint and live more sustainably. Comprehensive, yet written with the same approachable and empowering tone as Veggie Revolution (also by mother/daughter team Sally and Sara Kate, aka "Sadie," Kneidel) the book draws on personal interviews and real-life examples to demonstrate both the challenges and rewards of making environmentally responsible choices.

5.0 out of 5 stars An informed and informative guide from a mother daughter team dedicated to saving the environment, October 10, 2008

By	Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

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.
