If you can only read and reference one green thing, make it this book:  an easily comprehensible, clearly presnted source for green living. Everything you need to know is right here at your fingertips. Unlike a lot of other overwhelming green guides on the market, this is green decision making in bite sized pieces.With chose it/lose it comparisons throughout, now it's simple to figure out it’s worth switching to a green detergent, what kind of plastic your sports bottle is made of, or which fish is safest to eat.  Rather than spending time trying to figure out how best to go green, use this book and devote that time to making the difference.

Review: Do One Green Thing: Saving the Earth Through Simple, Everyday Choices

User Review  - Fatima - Goodreads

Handy reference. I was aware of most of these ideas but it did inspire me to try a few new things: 1) buying more organic, instead of conventional, cotton, 2) buying natural laundry detergent, if I can find it in powdered form, and 3) cleaning with white vinegar instead of synthetic cleaners.
