Description:

With every new day’s headlines the world is shifting into a new reality. Freakish weather patterns, widespread smog alerts, and unsafe water advisories are problems that we all need to tackle. But we still have to drive cars, pack school lunches, do laundry, unclog toilets, and throw dinner parties. So how do we do the things we do without making a mess of our world?

Green for Life is an indispensable guide to living in a more sustainable way. The majority of us don’t live off the grid or drive electric cars, but do want to get involved and lighten our footprint on the earth. This pocket-sized book is packed with 200 solutions for making your everyday life more more, including:

Food: eating local and organic, what to eat, what to avoid, packaging
In the kitchen: cleaning, appliances, cookware
Around the house: removing stains, washing windows, doing laundry, unclogging drains and toilets, renovating, decorating
Getting around: buying, driving, washing, and maintaining your car
Getting clean and beautiful: showering, bath products, makeup
Sex: birth control, natural lubricants
Getting dressed: organic and sustainable fibres, reclaimed materials, natural dyes
Healthy kids: packing school lunches, organic foods, diapers, non-toxic toys
Fun: picnics, birthday parties, weddings, celebrations
Travel: picking a vacation spot and getting there
In the office: recycling, supplies, lights, furniture, computers
In the garden: compost, water usage, fertilizer, pesticides
At the end: caskets, natural burial grounds

Green for Life is a practical guide to living the life you want, but with the reduced impact the planet needs. Well known for her involvement in environmental issues, Gillian Deacon takes you through the stuff of everyday life and explains how to do it with minimal environmental impact.
