True Green: 100 Everyday Ways You Can Contribute to a Healthier Planet

Did you find this review helpful? YES NO

For so long I have desired to go "Green" but first I had to be committed and really understand what that entailed. I pruchased True Green as an educational resource and enjoyed it greatly. The book is based off the experience of one of the leading grassroots environmental movements groups, Clean Up the World and I now understand how they have become the authority for ways to make a healthier planet. True Green shows how simple practices can save on water, how to save money unplugging electrical items rather than just merely shutting them off, etc. My family started taking baby steps with such techniques and would recommend this book to anyone. If you've ever wondered just how to go green, True Green is for you.

I am so glad to hear you enjoyed this book; I did too. Congrats on your baby steps. Each step is a HUGE one really, as so many of us do not do anything at all to help the planet. Keep it up!

This was so helpful to read. I am sure others would love to go for this book based on such reviews.

I love that there are more books being put out like this one by different organizations to increase awareness, but this one in particular is a GREAT introduction, with many more in depth ideas but not leaving out the basics (unplugging to avoid phantom energy, etc.)

I am getting more and more curious abouit going green. I was afraid it would be too complicated. However just reading that you started baby steps makes it seen not complicated. Thanks!

Thank you for your helpful review! I too, aspire to "go-green" but I'm always leery of not doing it right! The knowledge that this book has ways to help you learn baby steps is a great comfort to me, and I will be keeping an eye out for it!
