Authors: Kim McKay and Jenny Bonnin Climate change, dwindling natural resources, polluted air and water… often the magnitude of the environmental challenges we face can leave us felling powerless, but the problems we need to tackle are usually very close to home. True Green suggests 100 small ways in which you can make a big difference, at home, in the garden, at work, while travelling, or in your community. Put on a sweater instead of the heater, say no to plastic bags, switch off electrical appliances at the power point are just a few of the many great ideas contained inside. The only slightly frustrating part of the book are the constant references to American stats and Did You Know's, which although understandable as it is a US published book, leaves the reader simply aghast at the incredible excessive thirst for consumption in the world's leading market. It is however a very practical, positive, and easy to use book and will become an essential reference in your household to show you and your family how making simple changes in your everyday life can contribute to a healthier planet. Going green has never been more crucial, so choose a few tips from True Green and start today. |
