Customer Reviews

Good jumping board, written from a different POV

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.

Buy and keep on hand

This is a great start for anyone trying to learn about how to go green. I read the book, incorporated one idea, and then returned to the book to try another thing. Great tips, helpful info, and fun to read, this is a great resource.

THE book for Green Living for Everyone

This book has great, easy tips that are easy for the average family! Easy to read, and very adaptable to the average life. I found myself looking out for the little things I could do to help the environment, and feeling good about making those small changes. It's also helped us make better decisions as we build our next house. Our home is healthier, our lives are cleaner, and we are teaching our kids about having a positive impact on the world.

A little elementary

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."

Lots of practical ideas here!

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!
