With Earth Day coming up on Thursday, this is the perfect time to let you know about a handy new “green” resource that is now available. Perhaps you know someone who would like to learn more about sustainable living in an easy, straightforward manner. If so, tell them to get a copy of green blogger Micaela Preston’s well written book, Practically Green.
Practically Green is a practical guide to creating and maintaining a sustainable and healthy home. The book is divided into sections on topics such as eating, cleaning, wearing and conserving. It has up to date charts for you to cut out and keep in your purse on topics such as: sustainable seafood (great to pull out when your eyes are glazing over at the seafood counter wondering what to choose that is healthy for you and not overfished), nontoxic cleaning agents and sustainable clothing standards.
The guide is peppered with “Eco-Spotlights” - little blurbs about notable environmentally or socially responsible organizations or businesses that will tune you in to some new interesting resources.
Do-it-yourselfers will love the more than thirty projects and ideas for things to make instead of buy. And, the eating section of the book has several good recipes to try.
Practically Green is compact and well organized, so if you are looking for specific information, it is easy to find. It is a helpful guide to have around to answer many basic questions about green living.
