Format:Paperback
Beautifully designed, and very easy to navigate, this book covers every area of your life and tells you how you can make it greener and save money at the same time! The suggestions range from simple things like energy efficient light bulbs to more complex and expensive projects like installing solar power, so no matter what your budget or ability you will pick up some useful tips. It also includes lots of sources of further information to find out more. If everyone did just a few of the suggestions in this book, it would make such a difference!

A really simple, comprehensive book on being a more environmentally concious person. It tells you what is going wrong on the world and what you can do to help by making small changes to your lifestyle. It's easy to read and well written. Everyone should have one - I will be buying one for friends and family for presents!

What a great book!!!!! I must say it again. What a great book!!! I have just read if from cover to cover and I have learnt so much. It is from the friends of the earth and it covers from gardening, food, diy, in the home, shopping, recyclcling and waste and communiity. I have learnt that a lot of the everyday things that you use have chemicals in it that you would not want around you. I have learnt a lot about what I can recycle and reuse. The references section has lots of websites and contact details of many companies. If you are just intested in just saving money then this book is for you. If you are just interested in saving the planet then this book is for you. If you are just interested in living a healther life then this book is also for you. I am interested in all these things.

Good for the environment, less good for saving money
I was disappointed by this book and felt it didn't quite live up to its title. There are many excellent ideas on ways to be environmentally friendly, but a lot of the time I felt... Read more
