Some reviews

This book is a fantastic guide to living a more environmentally friendly life, and is testament to the increasing number of companies and initiatives which are actively challenging the status quo.

ELFline, Environmental Law Foundation magazine, July 2005

If you have the desire to lessen your own environmental impact but not all the answers, this book should fill in a few gaps.

James Fair, BBC Wildlife magazine, March 2005

The book is laid out in a fun way with family-friendly graphics that make it a fun read for bogside or bedside.

Just as I was saying to myself "tell me something I don't know", they did. From underfloor heating and solar energy, through greener funerals and cleaning with lemon juice, there are some great ideas here ... In the process, it does manage to make reducing consumption seem positive and interesting rather than an act of purse-lipped puritan denial.

Jo Littler, The Guardian, 23/04/05

... a thoughtful and useful guide to lessening our ecological footprint... reinforced by some fascinating and rather sobering statistics.

Jo Bourne, Geographical Magazine, April 2005

It's all written in a non-preachy style and presented in a fairly simple but accessible fashion.

Hippy Shopper, April 2005

... published on "100% post consumer waste" paper, which is about as good as it gets.

John Vidal, The Guardian, 09/03/05

...one of the most useful books, in terms of a guide to life, to have been published for many a year... packed with the sort of information that we wish that we could find but don't know where to look.

John Green, Morning Star, 28/03/05
