Green Marketing Book Review

"In recent years most books about our environment have been dismal. Advertisers have struggled with their reputation of deviously twisting public perspectives. How refreshing it is to read about ecological, honest marketing! As an environmental fashion consultant, I consider myself knowledgeable in materials and derivative uses. Yet I learned from this book about utilizing milkweed for pillows and how natural scrap fabrics can be applied as garden mulch. I'm hoping for a third edition." -Delia Montgomery, Chíc Eco Directory Author
