The Green Book Review – Environmental Reading

Looking for some green reading materials at your local library or to give as a gift?  Try “the Green Book: the Everyday Guide to Saving the Planet One Simple Step at a Time” by Elizabeth Rogers & Thomas M. Kostigen.

This book blends celebrity anecdotes of how celebs like Justin Timberlake, Owen Wilson, Jennifer Aniston, and Tyra Banks embrace living green with practical green advice.  You can learn hundreds of green tips on anything from greening your entertainment, traveling, communication, school, work, shopping, health/beauty, sports, money, building, and how to go carbon neutral.  No matter where you are in life, you can find ways to be greener in any situation.  I picked up several green tips while reading it!

Plus, there’s over 50 pages of website references at the end of the book, which is great for researching or learning more enviro-advice to figure out to apply it locally.

Happy reading!
