this book has a section devoted to energy conserving ideas, i was very pleased to see all that was suggested many perfectly reasonable and it gets you thinking... ill have this book around for a while just to look back on and see what else i can do to change things!

Useful and PRACTICAL tips for every area of your life.

I felt that this was a very helpful book in terms of ideas and resources for being a more enviornmentally responsible and not consumer-oriented individual.

A good guide if you want to move in that direction.

I really enjoyed reading this book. I'm always trying to find new ways to help our environment; this book has all of the information to help me do so. By reading this I discovered many Earth friendly materials and products. Although I probably won't follow all of the information given to me , it's still nice knowing that I am now aware. It has inspired me to change many of my bad habits into greener, healthier habits.

Found this in the Lending Library and was hoping to get a few useful tips.
This book was okay. Some of the tips were good, but having been published over 10 years ago, it was pretty out of date.
The thing that annoyed me the most was that the chapters were overly wordy. It wasn't a quick read. It was a boring and tedious read. The checklist itself was helpful, but the lists of websites and paragraph after paragraph of repetitive information were not. The double columns of text on each page was overwhelming as well.
An okay read, but more up-to-date information can easily be found elsewhere.
I did appreciate that it was printed on recycled paper though.

The author is well-spoken, and there's a lot of tips I haven't thought of yet. One reviewer said that it's outdated (it's from 2006), and while a lot has changed, this book can point you in the right direction. And the cartoons are great.

I guess that a lot of these "green living" books bore me, thanks to my mom. This was just the way we lived - recycling, thrift shopping, composting, etc.

The list was nice - it's always nice to see that I am on top of most green-living goals - and I can certainly see it being very useful for someone needing a clear idea of what to do. It's a good, basic list that you can pick and choose from, see where you are already working, where you can work harder, and get new ideas to apply.

Practical tips for being more green.

Many useful ideas to help green the environment.

Teaches a lot about what to buy and what to avoid. Easy ways to make cleaners... there's so many uses for baking soda...

While this is filled with good suggestions for the average person on how to make greener choices in the everyday life, it is one of those books that is veeeeery outdated. The information and resources did not withstand the test of time.

However I really enjoyed all the phonebook and disk drive references/suggestions lol.
