Over 85% of Americans today express concern about health and the environment, but only a small fraction say they know where to begin. Whether you are concerned about climate change, personal health, or just want to live more lightly on the planet, this book is for you. It helps you get past the worry and take positive action to improve both your health and the health of our environment.

Based on a lifetime of research and practice, this practical guide for living green offers advice and solutions you can easily put into practice, like:

*The 10 foods you should always eat organic to avoid pesticides, herbicides, hormones and antibiotics. *Affordable and practical ways to offset your "carbon footprint" and neutralize your personal impact on global warming. *The most chemically-intensive personal care, household cleaning and lawn care products, and their effective natural alternatives. *How soft plastic water bottles hurt your health, your pocket book and our environment, with a simple and refreshing alternative. *How a simple carbon filter can dramatically improve your everyday health and potentially add years to your life. *The truth about hybrids and flex fuels. *Why an organic mattress is the most important health investment you can make. Foreword by Jordan Rubin, New York Times best-selling author of The Maker's Diet.

best for green newcomers

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 17, 2010

Verified Purchase

As a person who has been trying to find ways to help the environment for years, I found this book sometimes redundant (although not necessarily bad, it's always good to remind yourself) but I also found some tidbits that were quite interesting, helpful, and sometimes just plain disgusting (since eating animals with injected hormones, girls have started menstruating on average like 16 months earlier!!!). I think this would be best for beginning or yet-to-be-converted greenies, except some things in here may seem too extreme and granola for the modern American (I base this off what I think my parents would say of it). It's definitely a fast read, which is wonderful. Nothing worse than unwillingly plodding along to finish it. In the section on building a green home, it had some good information, but I had finished reading Green Building and Remodeling for Dummies, and I didn't really learn anything new from it (except the off-gassing heating technique). This book would probably be good to read and then pass it along to other people.

Witty

quick and easy "starter" book

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 8, 2010

Verified Purchase

this is a great book for people who want to know where to start when going green. the author is quick and to the point, leaving room for the reader to do his own research on the subject. there are definitely more books out there that provide more extensive information, so i would call this more of a "handbook." i enjoyed this book, and the author makes excellent and interesting points.

A good book that gives you simple tips, though it's a surprisingly thin book.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 4, 2008

Verified Purchase

I was not very satisfied with this book. Even though it is only a couple of years old, it seems to miss some very important things. I was hoping this book would give a better refrence to things than it did, such as recipies for cleaners, diy projects and the like. However, it was a more of an outline on steps to live greener, with quips from his personal life. Several of his suggestions would also require money that the average person doesnt have (especially in this economy!) and therefor they do not seem very practical. I was also very dissapointed with the coverage on feminine hygene and there was no mention of such things as Diva Cups, one the greenest feminine hygene products that exists.

This book might be good for someone just starting to venture into green living, but I would not recommend it to someone already living green and looking for ways to expand.

Great Read!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 25, 2015

Awesome guide to becoming more sustainable and provides thorough information on how and why you should do so. This book presents information in an easy to follow manner, highly recommended for all those who want to become more "green" or would like to know more about the harmful things we expose our lives to, usually without knowing. This book shows simple ways to get started and even covers long-term or more complex issues. Highly recommend!

This book presented some information that I found to be useful in considering ways to not only improve my health, but the health of the environment as well. Some of it may seem redundant with other books out there, but it is a good book for beginners.

Good basic info

Book for student intern

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 11, 2013

Verified Purchase

As Sustainability Manager at a large southwestern university I have student interns. This was a book she chose because she's new to sustainability. It is very simple and good for beginners. If you want a more current book with greater information, there are many more educational books.
