Books : Living Green: A Practical Guide to Simple SustainabilityIn association with Amazon.comRating:  - guidemany ideas to work on and many to be aware of a good book to read Rating:  - A So So BookI was not very satisfied with this book. Even though it is only a couple of years old, it seems to miss some very important things. I was hoping this book would give a better refrence to things than it did, such as recipies for cleaners, diy projects and the like. However, it was a more of an outline on steps to live greener, with quips from his personal life. Several of his suggestions would also require money that the average person doesnt have (especially in this economy!) and therefor they do not seem very practical. I was also very dissapointed with the coverage on feminine hygene and there was no mention of such things as Diva Cups, one the greenest feminine hygene products that exists. This book might be good for someone just starting to venture into green living, but I would not recommend it to someone already living green and looking for ways to expand. Rating: - Important Read...I first saw this book at my doctor's office, and knew I needed to add this to my ever growing library of books on 'greening' our lives. I've done extensive research on living healthier and less toxic lives. We recently completed building a green home and I give talks to groups about how dangerous toxic chemicals are and what we can do to avoid, eliminate, or lower our risk for health problems. I love the understandable way Mr. Horn writes about these issues. It is a great book for people who just want to know the plain facts. I like to recommend books to people who are becoming interested in living healthier and this is one I will definitely include in my list of books. Rating:  - Good Intro to Living GreenThis is a good introductory book for individuals who are not familiar with this topic. I didn't learn anything new but I felt that I would have if I was new to "Living Green". Rating: - Disappointing and redundantThe author's personal story was interesting and was a good example of what can and will happen if we continue to live in a toxic world. I would consider this book more of a primer instead of a "good or interesting read". I found the author's information and use of examples redundant. I would have preferred a shorter book as opposed to reading the same thing over and over again. |
