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.

MrJeffinDC,
Be that as it may, today’s green movement seems to have more to do with pushing products and a particular social agenda than environmental impact. The fool social engineers responsible for MTBE in our water & mercury laden compact fluorescent lightbulbs in our trash have done more damage than ever will be made up for in efficiency.

Glad that you brought this up, because you make a good point here!
We should definitely be factoring in what we are doing with our old appliances/hardware when they are replaced by more energy/water efficient ones.
A good way to balance this out would be to wait until, say, an inefficient fridge is broken and can’t be repaired. Then at that time you could replace it w/ a more efficient one.
And at that time, there are recycling facilities that accept Non-Reusable Large Appliances

You may be suprised but some people view today’s green movement as a way for arrogant wasteful people to feel superior while landfilling property they could repair. You can buy new, throw out the old & get a tax credit paid for by the poor slob next door whose bathroom didn’t go in the landfill. You can really pat yourself on the back if you landfill a whole house because the new one is so green. You get tax credits & get the look down your nose while buying the most expensive of everything.

You might be surprised, but putting water-saving fixtures in a bathroom does make a significant environmental impact, given how much water you end up saving.

The easiest way to get a “Greener” bathroom is to just not clean it.
