I got this book thinking it would help "green" me more. It did turn out to be a how-to-do book on becoming more active in promoting a sustainable way of life, but most of what was suggested were things that I already do.
The book is nicely organized and easy to read. It has a helpful chapter of websites (resources) in the back. This would be a good read for someone fairly new to the "green" movement and who has finally decided that to live more in harmony with the earth would be a good defense against global warming.
