5.0 out of 5 stars Essential, 17 Aug 2007
By Antonio Moncayo (Zaragoza) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
This nice little book is essential to those who want to minimize the impact of their consuming in the environment.

Very easy to read and printed ( guess ) in recycled paper with very useful guide is very informative about ways of reducing the amount of things that we send to the rubbish bin every week.

The book features an A to Z guide of all the items that can recycle from cars to jars and many different ways of reducing what can not be recycled.

Even if you live in a flat in the city and you have no access to a compost bin this book will illustrate how to stop generating rubbish.I found the chapter about " Office " particularly helpful.

Independently of your beliefs on global warming and politics ,there is argument that consuming less natural resources is in everyone's interest.

I can not wait for the next edition due out this year.

This is the second edition of this nice little book is essential to those who want to minimise the impact of their consuming in the eviroment.

Hardly anything different from the first edition , colour drawings instead of black and white and a more attractive cover , if you have the first edition do not bother to buy this one as is essentialy the same book.

Very easy to read and printed ( guess ) in recycled paper with very useful guide is very informative about ways of reducing the amount of things that we send to the rubbish bin every week.

The book features an A to Z guide of all the items that can recycle from cars to jars and many different ways of reducing what can not be recycled.

Even if you live in a flat in the city and you ahve no access to a compost bin this book will illustrate how to stop generating rubbish.I found the chapter on office recycling particularly helpful.

Independently of your beliefs on global warming and politics ,there is argument that cosuming less natural resources is in everyone's interest.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for every household., 4 Dec 2006
By Oliver L. Holmes "Tardigrades" (Gloucestershire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The reduce, reuse, recycle mantra has been around for a long time now but incredibly there are still those too stupid or too lazy to take heed. Conflicting expertise, a vast amount of information to remember and the myriad strategies by individual councils and/or local and regional authorities can make it real headache to do what is best. This book is a one-stop-shop for anyone who wishes to reduce the amount of packaging and raw materials they take in, and dispose of what they generate responsibly if not sustainably. Great for the kids but not too patronising for adults too this book gives novel ways of countering problems and contains a vast archive of references for further investigation.
