Customer Reviews

Chock-Full of Great Ideas!

Emma Sleeth's book has dozens of practical ideas that I want to implement right away. I've already turned my refrigerator and freezer temperatures up, unplugged all unnecessary appliances, and started washing my clothes in cold water instead of warm or hot. Every little bit helps. Thanks, Emma, for sharing your wisdom!

Encouragement for living GREEN!

This thoroughly delightful book for young people will encourage anyone who reads it to take steps in the direction of caring for the environment. Well organized, easy to read and packed with suggestions for students! Each chapter discusses a different subject of conservation and there are lots of decorated "boxes" giving hints along the way. A helpful, engaging read for anyone!

Green Food for Thought

I couldn't set this down until I finished it! (Then I immediately passed it along to more readers!) I am, however, looking forward to going back and reading it again and applying all the great practical tips to my life. It's Easy Being Green is thoughtful, practical, amusing, heartwarming, and sure to make a real difference in each reader's life! My advice: order this, read this, start quoting this! Join the Ms. Sleeth and her father and keep serving God and saving the planet!

Green Guide Gives Meaning Behind Mania

Green things are not only growing outside, they are appearing on store shelves and in advertisements across America. In my search to find a meaning behind all this mania, I have read several books and learned a lot about caring for creation. What's great about this student's guide to serving God and saving the planet is that it is more than a mere handbook. I have found both Ms. Sleeth's personal story and her helpful tips to be an aid to my understanding of both "going green" and the role of my faith in this process.

A greener spring!

During my reading of the first chapter I was stirred to start doing more for our environment. The author not only educates us on the issues but provides practical ways for us to address those issues. In one week our household has turned around our impact on the world God created for us to enjoy. Ms Sleeth's writing is warm and appealing to all ages. This book is one that I will definitely be giving copies to others and teaching to my children. We CAN make a difference!
