I have chosen to read, Do One Green Thing: Saving the Earth Through Simple, Everyday Choices, by Mindy Pennybacker. This book is sort of like the idiot's guide to going green. Since high school I have been interested in doing things that are better for myself and the environment, but I never really knew where to start. This book maps it out and makes choosing this or that very clear. I am very anxious to get reading and share the things that I learn.
GreenerPenny.com is Mindy Pennybacker's website, which provides a lot of going-green tips. It also provides a list of media websites and blogs that she finds useful. I have found that my favorite of the list is The Daily Green.
The book is 224 pages, not including the references. The references are very helpful, including pictures of things to look for, such as organic food labels, which Mindy directs you to throughout the chapters.
I will read the book in four sections:
Week One: Chapters 1-3
Week Two: Chapters 4-6
Week Three: Chapters 7-9
Week Four: Chapters 10-12
Sounds like an interesting book, Nicole. I'm looking forward to hearing about some simple go-green tips. Sometimes its the small things that we don't think about that can easily be changed. Happy Reading!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like it will be a pretty enjoyable read. I'm sure there will be some good no-brainers in the book that we never would think of to do.
