5.0 out of 5 stars
Authoritative, accessible and brilliantly complete,
By Jonathan Mays (London, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Rough Guide to Green Living (Paperback)
The Rough Guide to Green Living is full-on miraculous: a book that tells you why you should care about the future of the planet, then gives you all the information you need to go out there and do something.
In a fresh and fuss-free style, without a hint of sermonising, author Duncan Clark gives you the lowdown on everything low-carbon, eco-friendly and energy-saving: which lightbulbs to choose, which food to buy, how to insulate your home, how to choose an ethical bank, plus tonnes more practical, no-nonsense advice. What forms of transport are the greenest? (You may be surprised by the answer.) Is organic all it's cracked up to be? (Not as straightforward as you might think.) But nor does he sidestep the global issues that concern us all: what does "ethical" actually mean? Does recycling matter? Can individuals really make a difference? When it comes to climate change, there are few easy answers, Clark argues: but that's why it's up to all of us to make intelligent choices about the way we live. The Rough Guide to Green Living is that rarest thing of all - a book about the environment that makes you think as well as act.
