4.0 out of 5 stars
excellent!,
By Lillian (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: It's Easy Being Green: A Handbook for Earth-Friendly Living (Paperback)
I thought this was a wonderful book - you should definitely consider "It's Easy Being Green" and another book I enjoyed that is very similar only more focused on showing the individual they are truly powerful, that they can find a positive lifestyle and leave a lasting legacy... "Trash Talk - An Inspirational Guide to Saving Time and Money through Better Waste & Resource Management"... These are both excellent books!

This review is from: It's Easy Being Green: A Handbook for Earth-Friendly Living (Paperback)
If you need to have almost all the ideas for ways YOU can reduce your ecological damage of your lifestyle all in one easy to read place -- or know someone who you think is open to being greener but unaware of all the big and little changes one can fairly easily make, this might be a book for you.If you've been paying attention to ecological, green, and sustainability issues for years there's not much point in this book. All the info in it is widely available on the 'net and other sources free. 39 of 41 people found the following review helpful

For the busy person who wants to go green!,
By Diane Moore - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: It's Easy Being Green: A Handbook for Earth-Friendly Living (Paperback)
What a great little book! It's chock full of information and even created out of recycled paper! As someone who wants to "go green," but doesn't want a lot of long explanations and hard to understand terms, this book was perfect for me!The author starts out by crushing the "green living myths," which is helpful, because I'm constantly explaining to others that it's not as hard as you think! There are hundreds of tips with 3 boxes by each one so you can check of what you want to work on, or number your success with it. The tips range from the ones I was already familiar with (such as buying organic, or letting fruit sit in a bowl of cold water rather than letting the water run) to those I wasn't familiar with (take used motor oil to your local service station for recycling. Motor oil never wears out; it can be recycled, re-refined, and used again and again). The author really did her homework because there are not only many ways to "get involved" in the back of the book, but lots of "green shopping" pages as well! I hope to find more books like this! 21 of 21 people found the following review helpful

Easy and No Preaching!,
By D. Burk - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: It's Easy Being Green: A Handbook for Earth-Friendly Living (Paperback)
Ms. Trask's book was my first book about how to live green. I've wanted to learn more but have always felt overwhelmed by the information in other books.This book is easy to read and to understand. Ms. Trask does not preach to you and she is not radical. The book is fun to read and has a great section of checklists: she lists pages of green ideas and you can check off what you are interested in working on. I really enjoy this book and plan to buy copies for my friends. |
