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.
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.

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.

Rating: - My First Review
I have never been motivated enough by any book to spend time and thought writing a review but this book is the exception.The book is unusually thorough, covering its subject matter in depth and breadth.We should all read it cover to cover but its simple and compact organization invites us to browse and still get lots of ideas.Though I'm not into cosmetics, I found even that section interesting.
The book is well written and an easy read.Technical readers will find it a pleasant ... Read More
Rating: - best of the bunch
I've read many green living books and I have found this one to be my favourite by far. I've been surprised by the effectiveness of many of the homemade recipes and look forward to trying the rest of them.
Rating: - A Must-Have for Green Living
I have recommended this book to the Richardson Public Library. It is packed with lists of eco-friendly products one can buy, and even has recipes for making one's own cleaning items. I thought I was fairly green, but believe me, there was ample room for improvement, and this book is my new friend.

Rating: - great book!
This is a great book.Lots of good info on ingredients found in cleaning and beauty items.Have recommended this book to several of my friends.Would definitely buy it again.
The only drawback to this book is that the pages started comming loose from the binding within a few days of flipping through it.No problem, though.Just took it down to the office supply store and had a spiral binding put on it for a few dollars.
