5.0 out of 5 stars This book is great!, December 26, 2002

By	Thom Fowler (San Francisco, California) - See all my reviews

It features the most current innovations in ecologically sustainable living. This book assumes you want to live the ideal eco-responsible lifestyle and the direct tone is unforgiving. But it's good to have an ideal to strive for so that anything you do is an improvement. Each chapter is easy to read and filled with consciousness-raising facts about waste and pollution with lots of tips and suggestions. There is even a chapter on seasonal eating complete with recipes. As the title suggests, Green Living is, above all, a practical how-to guide that tells you what, why, how, and where. When is left up to you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good start !!!, September 12, 2005

By	Gaberial Aden "Tao of books" (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews

I found this book to be filled with great ideas for greener living. Alot are just little things most Americans look over. The book tell you how to make cleaners for your home without using store bought chemicals (Saves tons of money). If you are just starting to live a green life than this is the foundation.

2.0 out of 5 stars very basic stuff, August 17, 2004

By	deedordee - See all my reviews

If one has never been exposed to green living then this may be the book for you. I found information in this book to be quite basic, quite elementary, in fact, alot of it was plain common sense. The book was hard for me to read through (not a good writing style match for me), but I attempted to because I wanted to find some information I could use. Would not recommend this book for anyone who have had any exposure to green living.
