Natural Life Magazine's
Green & Healthy Homes
by Wendy Priesnitz

Natural Life Magazine's Green and Healthy HomesThis book will help you and your family make your home greener and healthier, and save money too. Updated and expanded natural family living information from the pages of Natural Life magazine.

Going green doesn't have to be difficult or expensive. But there is so much information available, that you might feel the need for a guide to cut through the spin and avoid the greenwash that accompanies the rhetoric associated with green living. This book is that guide.

By providing insight into some of the more common and/or controversial issues related to healthy, sustainable homes, it provides you with the tools that will help you live comfortably and mindfully, within your financial and ecological means, while having a minimal effect on the planet that houses us all. Like Natural Life Magazine, this book is about applying good old common sense, research, and skepticism (if it sounds too green to be true, it probably is!) to empower ourselves to create a better life for ourselves, our families, and the Earth.

Make your home greener and healthier, and save money too.

  • make your own inexpensive and non-toxic cleaning supplies

  • undertake a green and healthy home renovation

  • avoid dangerous household chemicals

  • convert your landscaping to native and natural

  • ensure a safe drinking water supply for your home

  • and many more tips for a greener, healthier home
