5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of practical ideas here!, September 10, 2007

By	Shannon Riggs (Oregon) - See all my reviews

What an excellent resource this book is for anyone who is seeking ways to make a positive impact on the environment. The media today is saturated with doomsday news, which often leaves me feeling like there's nothing I can do as an individual. It's great to have a resource that provides so many ideas and so much information about positive things we can ALL do to help protect our environment.

I bought one copy for myself and ordered a second to send in to my child's middle school science class!

4.0 out of 5 stars A little elementary, March 21, 2008

This book tries to focus on too many issues. It's just a little elementary for my taste, but probably great for someone who has no clue how to live "green."

5.0 out of 5 stars Good jumping board, written from a different POV, May 9, 2008

By	Melanie Gold "melgold" (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The market is saturated with green these days, so readers may have a hard time figuring out which books to read. I like this book for providing a broad foundation of information. Using the classic "Everything" format (and a title that's more palatable than Dummies or Complete Idiot's), the author shows that greening up your life doesn't have to be a radical endeavor. There are lots of Internet resources for learning more about specific programs, products, etc. And I like that McDilda an environmental engineer, not a stereotypical Hollywoodesque tree hugger who's jumping on the bandwagon.
