Ellen DeGeneres, Robert Redford, Will Ferrell, Jennifer Aniston, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Martha Stewart, Tyra Banks, Dale Earnhardt, Jr., Tiki Barber, Owen Wilson, and Justin Timberlake tell you how they make a difference to the environment.
Inside The Green Book, find out how you can too:
- Turn your thermostat a degree lower in the winter; if every home in America did it we'd save enough energy to power all the home is Iowa for one whole year!
- Take a shorter shower; if America subtracted just one minute from their daily showers we'd save twice the amount of freshwater withdrawn from the Great Lakes every day!
- Reuse ribbon and wrapping paper; if two-thirds of Americans each saved an arm's length of ribbon this year, we could tie a bow around the earth!
With wit and authority, authors Elizabeth Rogers and Thomas Kostigen provide hundreds of solutions for all areas of your life, pinpointing the smallest changes that have the biggest impact on the health of our precious planet.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Pretty Neat! -
I got this book for my soon-to-be 14 year old sister's birthday. She's really into the "green" stuff and this book is really awesome. I thumbed through it and found it to be really interesting and well put together. It's really well organized and makes it easy to find information on specific lifestyle changes.
It's a great, informative and interesting little book for any teen or adult!

Celebrity Driven Drivel -
The authors get off to a bad start by stating their "desire to be environmentally friendly while remaining selfish consumers." Trying to remain calm, I am then told that "usually, kWh (kilowatt-hours) are used to measure electrical power or natural gas use." Actually, natural gas is measured in therms. Hoping it can't get worse, I then learn that Cameron Diaz and William McDonough espouse the "noble savage" idea, de-bunked by anthropologists, that humans lived in harmony with their world before modern civilization arrived. That's why buffalo were herded and driven off a cliff. The answer is "not about limits but about abundance" but we are then told how to limit our use of water, electricity, petroleum products, etc.
The authors proceed to do what every other "green" book does - make lists of easy things you can do. Trivial actions are given equal weight with meaningful actions. Chapters include: Home, Travel, Shopping, and Building. The Building chapter makes no mention of energy audits or blower door tests. It recommends ceiling fans when it could recommend floor fans, at a tenth the cost. It confuses insulation with air sealing when it calls for an "envelope of insulation" that reduces leaks. How did this make the New York Times Bestseller List? Could it be the celebrities?
Very good -
