Going Green, One Day at a Time

I've been trying to be more green this year by doing all kinds of little things, but I'm always looking for more ideas. My husband got me this book for Christmas, and I'm pretty jazzed looking through all the suggestions. There are tons of great ideas (365 to be exact!) for being more green. Helmer also blasts a bunch of myths. For example, I always thought it was better to roll down the windows while driving instead of relying on AC. It turns out that your car is more aerodynamic with the windows rolled up and the AC on. Or it's better to put your computer to sleep than to have a screensaver. I love that her tips are very down to earth--they really are things you can do right now that don't require spending a bunch of money. This book is perfect for someone who is into being green, but also for someone who is just thinking about being green, but doesn't know where to start.

Fresh tips

This book has a lot of suggestions that I hadn't heard before and they're very manageable! I don't feel guilty anymore for not composting b/c I can do a hundred other things that're much easier and quicker and that also help the environment.

Great guide

What I love about The Green Year is that everything is easily accomplishable on the day that the suggestion is shared (even when you have the busiest of schedules) and every suggestion is really affordable while creating savings for you. Helmer makes lessening one's carbon footprint practical and accessible while offering a good, succinct education on why these things matter. The book is great for an individual, but it also offers a neat opportunity for a family to tackle lightening their load on the environment together.

Practical and inspiring

I love this book. These aren't big, take-all-weekend projects. These are easy peasy things you can do every day to make the world a greener place. Love the format too. It helps make the whole 'going greener' thing a lot less daunting. This book would make a great gift!

What a great idea!

Let's face it, these days, everyone feels at least some sense of urgency when it comes to protecting the environment. But very few can live totally off the grid! This book is a great way to dip your toe into environmentalism with all its simple ways to make a difference (most of which I was already doing!), then realize it's actually easy enough for anyone to do.
