I can tell by the talk of "rubbish" and "trash taxes" and "light bulb certificates", that most of the people in the "green living" section of "Yahoo! Answers" who are trying to live a greener life are not Americans. Where are my fellow Americans, and why are we so slow to start making green living a priority? Why do other parts of the planet "get it", but the most wasteful part of the planet does not??
Ouch! Some of these people are really nasty against their fellow Americans.
Americans are newer to the green game than our counterparts.
But I think the biggest thing is that many of us are not going outside of our easy zone, our comfort zone, to live green.
Many people here recycle, because it goes out with the trash (easy).
Many people have CFBs because they sell them at Ikea, Walmart and Target (easy) and they save $.
Lots of people buy clothes at vintage/thrift stores because they want a huge wardrobe cheap (easy)!
Most people take showers because they’re quicker (easy).
Lots of us are buying hybrid cars because they save on gas (easy).
Lots of us are combining errands to save on gas (easy)
Composting, going vegetarian, driving less, all of these things are much harder to do and take more research. Even switching from a car to a motorcycle takes a bit of work.
Americans aren’t stupid, we’re just a bit lazy and sometimes need a bit of prodding to get ourselves in gear. We’re going to get there though!
American consumerism will push through the green movement. Why? We buy a lot more! Simply put, we speak with our wallets and that’s what’s going to make the green movement succeed – when people buy green without even thinking about it, then the second push to get even greener will happen.
I’m making a presentation on the abc’s of green living and I need some help.
Keep wastes down
Lights should be replaced with more efficient bulbs

Paper is best when made from post-consumer recycled
material
Quit wasting energy

This book is very easy to read with wonderful and useful information. If you want to start thinking "green" then this book is a great start.
The book spans a wide range of topics - including beauty products, cleaning products, linens and mattresses, and home improvement. If you are going to make any large-scale eco-friendly investments (on-demand water heater, organic mattress, hybrid car, solar panels) youre going to need to do much more research than what is in this book. If youre just looking for a primer covering a lot of topics and dont mind it when it states the obvious (bring your own bags to the store, recycle your trash) or hawks products, then you might find this book useful.
