Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
Pennybacker, former editor in chief of the Green Guide, advocates small but meaningful changes in eating, home, grooming, and transportation. Her coverage is good but not encyclopedic, with researched pro and con arguments to sway the reader. The home section is similar to Bruce Harley's Cut Your Energy Bills Now but does not include the how-to instruction. Overall, this is an intelligent, well-presented book with a clear agenda.

    Great read

    This book is a great read for those wanting to become more eco-friendly without turning their lives upside down. You can take big steps or baby steps. There is no judgement, just ideas for moving in the right direction to help the earth and help with a healthier lifestyle. I first checked it out from my local library, but then bought 3 copies: 2 as gifts and one to keep as my own reference manual.

    This is the book I've been waiting for! Green living simplified!

    Finally, a book based on the latest science that gives practical, user-friendly advice on how to live green for your own personal well-being and for the well-being of our Earth. I love the information and the easy to understand advice.

    This book is terrific for helping to sort through the green hype!!

    I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in living a "greener" life. Ms Pennybacker does a great job of laying out easy to understand and follow suggestions that simplify the choices we make to actually make a difference. I appreciate her attention to the latest information on what actions truly have an impact.
