Book Reviews of Easy Green Living: The Ultimate Guide to Simple, Eco-Friendly Choices for You and Your Home
Book Review: Comprehensive and Well Researched
Summary: 5 Stars
Easy Green Living, by Renee Loux is an exhaustive guide to eco-friendly living for the home and person. Each chapter reveals the hazardous products to avoid, complete with detailed findings from research. Next, green products to use instead of dangerous ones are described. Finally, each chapter provides resources to find green products.
I like that the introduction included the following, with explanations:
Being green is not black and white
Consider the life cycle of a product
Start small
Green living is a process
The first chapter includes a basic introduction to green living and hazardous materials to avoid.
Chapter two covers the basics of green cleaning; what to avoid, 6 basic ingredients to use for cleaning and recipes and resources for purchasing green cleaning supplies.
Chapter three continues on the cleaning theme, for the kitchen and chapter four covers the bathroom.
Chapter five is about personal care products. In addition to makeup and body cleaning products to avoid and use, Loux presents the hazards of conventional antiperspirants, tampons and hair dye and more and provides
safe alternatives.
Chapter six discusses how to have an eco-friendly laundry.
Chapter seven covers green bedding and chapter 8, lightbulbs.
Chapter nine discusses furnishings and materials, including paint, flooring and carpeting, kitchen and bath counters, cabinets and candles. Of all chapters, this could be more comprehensive--however, as Loux explains in the introduction, understanding the life cycle of products should make it easy to determine how green any product is.
This guidebook will leave few questions about basic green living unanswered, particularly green cleaning.
