Customer Reviews

A book everyone should read!

I've had this book for almost 10 years! It is still on my "priority" bookshelf, where other books have been demoted to the basement or given away. The book is organized into easy shopping sections; automobiles, food/groceries, pets, home energy, etc. It makes it easy to find information quickly. It offers many fast facts that are easy to read and informative. I still quote from the book (as a matter of fact I'm here because I pulled the book today from the shelf to get the statistic on percentage of pesticides used to make food LOOK good....the number is 40%). I took one star off the rating because it IS 10 years old now and it really needs an updating. If you're looking for ways to be a better green consumer and want to learn along the way...this fabulous book is for you!
