Product Description:
We are what we eat, but we also are what we use to clean our homes, pamper our skin, and decorate our rooms, according to Renée Loux, accomplished raw food chef, award-winning author, and host of Fine Living TV's Easy Being Green. In her new book, Easy Green Living, she applies her whole-foods philosophy to home, garden, and beauty routines.
Renée Loux demonstrates that being green at home is easy, affordable, and better in every sense of the word. She discusses the daily choices we face that can keep the home, personal care, and beauty routines free of toxins. She exposes the dirt on cleaning products and common hazardous ingredients and reveals her recommendations for greener options, including her "Green Thumb Guides" for choosing non-toxic, eco-smart, and human-friendly products. Peppered with compelling and inspiring facts, Easy Green Living is full of "5 Step" lists, products and recipes for green cleaning, helpful charts, safer choices for every room, and inspirational advice so we can save the planet--one cleaning spritz at a time.
As recent special issues of Vanity Fair, Time, Newsweek, and other major publications have demonstrated, going green is an idea whose time has come. Whether addressing big-picture topics like renewable energy, or offering simple suggestions for everyday living, this complete lifestyle guide shows that healthier choices don't mean a radical or complicated life change--it is, after all, easy to be green.

Average Rating:
Rating: - Good Advice
I have been paying more attention to try to "go green" as much as possible.As the title of the book says, it is fairly easy to implement and get ideas from.Nothing that will painfully or adversely affect your life, with many little things that can help out.Even if you are able to try to use just some of the things, even some of the more eco-freindly products that are recommended, it helps.Well done book that conveys the message without making you feel bad or guilty.

- Pretty basic...
I bought this book because I was looking for recipes for homemade cleaning products. It does have a few of those, but far more pages are devoted to product listings. That would be OK, except the author basically repeats information that is on the manufacturer's website - no actual reviews or opinions are given. A large part of the book seems to be ads for Seventh Generation- I like their stuff too, but I didn't need a book to tell me so. I find I'm spending a lot at the natural foods store on cleaning ...

This book is very easy to read with wonderful and useful information.If you want to start thinking "green" then this book is a great start.
Rating: - Incredibly Informative and Easy to Understand
I borrowed this book from a friend and found it so informative that I bought a copy for myself as a "green products encyclopedia".I appreciate the author's sincere concern for our environment and her "matter of fact" style without being preachy.I consider myself and environmentalist and I was surprised at how much I learned about toxins found in unexpected products.I recommend this book for every household.
