Review

THE FIVE BEST GREEN READS -- Chosen by Julia Stephenson --The Independent, Sept. 20th 2005

Review

"As handy tip books go, Saving the planet without costing the earth...is the best. Donnachadh writes a lifestyle column for the Independent and really knows his stuff. Certainly it gave me some new ideas."

Wake Up 29 Jun 2004
If you are concerned about the effects of climate change but think that it is a global issue that you can do little about then read this book to find out how you can make a difference. Donnachadh McCarthy leads by practice not preaching. This empowering book will show you how to make small easy changes to your lifestyle that cost nothing but a change in attitude, right through to how to take advantage of developing technology that will in the medium to long term save you money. Before reading this book I thought that being Green meant spending more, now I realise that saving energy and wasting less means spending less. I am now going out to look for one of those dynamo re-chargers that will enable me to re-charge my mobile phone from pedal power but I will miss the cut flowers. I have been inspired.

If you care about our planet and what we are doing to it, but feel that there is little you can do, this is the book to read.

Most of the ideas are simple to implement, having made the decision to be more careful and caring in how to live.

To me, the most decisive moment is the reminder that there is little point recycling unless we also buy recycled produce - so obvious really.

The 'audit' style helps the reader to see that they are making progress and that every little helps.

A very worthwhie read and a book that I already return to regularly.

This book is well written, easy & inspiringly simple to take on board. Just follow each chapter & self audit how green you are currently being. You will probably find that you are doing more than you realised. Which is encouraging....

However, there is always room for improvement & author then suggests that over the following year you can introduce small or big changes in becoming more enviromentally aware/user friendly in different areas of your daily life.

Most importantly does not preach, just informs & encourages.
