- Do One Green Thing: Saving the Earth Through Simple, Everyday Choices.
- This book takes a look at how most people live today and challenges the reader to begin making a conscious effort to make sure the way they live is healthy for them and the environment. This book is broken into four sections: Food and Drink, A Green and Healthy Home, Personal Care and Apparel, and Transportation. Each section mentions what is the easiest and most affordable 'green' change they could make. It also involves a 'Choose It/Lose It' portion in each chapter where it lists products that are or are not very friendly to you or the environment.
- I chose this book because of the fact that each section has a portion of it dedicated to giving you the science aspect of what you are doing - as in it mentions what we can do to benefit our health along with keeping the environment a safe place. It gives you websites you can visit if you would like to do further research of your own regarding the topic, it answers common questions people have regarding better living - such as 'What saves more energy and water, machine- or hand-washing dishes?' Finally, but certainly one of the key reasons why I chose the book, entails the 'Choose It/Lose It' section where it actually gives you names of products to use and products to avoid, so this book doesn't just tell you to do something and why you should do it, what I love about it is that it actually helps your find better products to use and encourages your to incorporate healthier habits into your everyday life.

- This book includes 13 total chapters which are divided into four parts or sections and contains a total of 255 pages. For each quarter I will be reading one part or section of the book, the first quarter going over the 'food and drink' part, the second quarter going over 'a green and healthy home,' the third quarter will cover the 'personal care and apparel' part, and finally the four quarter will being discussing 'transportation.'

ReplyDeleteThis book looks very interesting, I am interested in the personal care and apparel section. I am sure there are some areas in that where I can sacrifice myself.
