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.
