The Green Consumer - Softcover
The must-have handbook of environmental-friendly products--now revised and updated. This easy-to-use, brand-specific guide gives the vital facts on a wide range of products and has been expanded to include new information on eco-safe house paint, wood products that don't contribute to the destruction of rain forests, green cotton clothing, and more. REVIEW: I've had this book for almost 10 years! It is still on my "priority" bookshelf, where other books have been demoted to the basement or given away. The book is organized into easy shopping sections; automobiles, food/groceries, pets, home energy, etc. It makes it easy to find information quickly. It offers many fast facts that are easy to read and informative. I still quote from the book (as a matter of fact I'm here because I pulled the book today from the shelf to get the statistic on percentage of pesticides used to make food LOOK good....the number is 40%). If you're looking for ways to be a better green consumer and want to learn along the way...this fabulous book is for you!

From Library Journal:
Can we "change the world one diaper at a time?" Discussing "Biobottoms" "Baby Bunz," and cloth diaper companies, as well as "Rainforest Crunch" ice cream and "Styrotrash," this book gives practical information on products and companies to consumers who wish to be more environmentally aware ("green") in their purchases. Originally published in England, this has been revised for American audiences and includes an overview of green consumerism, a guide to products and companies, an up-to-date green bibliography, and a directory of environmental organizations. Future editions/updates are planned. Recommended for all public libraries. See also Diane MacEachern's Save Our Planet , reviewed in this issue, below.--Ed.
