Green your whole life!!! May 26, 2008
7 out of 9 found this review helpful
Greening your life seems to be a process. It's not something that you can do in one day. It's taken me a few years to slowly get rid of the things that weren't good for me, especially cleansers, beauty products, and food. Not only will using green products help you and your body, but they can help the earth as well!
This woman really did her homework. She not only stated where she received the abundance of information she wrote about, but she gave tons of resources as well!!
Even if you don't want to give up your everyday products, like: fabric softener, oven cleaner, and makeup, you don't have to!! There are many more natural and healthy substitutes you can use, by buying better products, or making them yourself!!
Greening your life is not as hard as you would think!
Recommended!

Do yourself & the planet a favor... April 25, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book is an absolutely amazing resource. Renee gives well researched guidelines and tips for choosing the most eco-friendly products possible. Renee's product recommendations include some well known brands in addition to brands that can only be found online or at natural markets. Her recipes for homemade cleaners & beauty products are also great & show that "going green" doesn't have to be expensive. If you read this book all at once, you could easily feel overwhelmed, but remember that "going green" happens one baby step at a time. This book can help you make more informed decisions as you try to lead a more eco-friendly life. And ladies, after reading this book I swear I will never buy another conventional tampon - Do yourself and the planet a favor and read this book, you won't regret it.

It's easy being green... if you know where to begin. None of us consciously make the decision to harm the planet, yet many of our day to day household choices do exactly that. Easy Green Living points out the reasons why we need to change, and gets us going in the right direction.
Many common household cleaners contain chemicals that not only hurt the environment, but can do considerable harm to our bodies. The exact nature of these chemicals is explained, and alternative products are suggested that can do the job in a safer manner. And if you're into "do it yourself" cleaning products, there are recipes to make almost anything out of simple and safe ingredients like white vinegar and baking soda.
The author also focuses on other common household products like cosmetics, bedding and furniture, which contain harmful chemicals, and provides safe alternative choices to those toxic items. And using energy efficient light bulbs and appliances is encouraged, so we can all use less natural resources.
Although I've been semi-green for more than ten years now, there were many things Renee Loux pointed out that were new to me. After reading Easy Green Living, I'm now totally convinced that I can't continue being partially committed to this lifestyle, and I'll be using this book as a reference in making the switch. Our health and Mother Earth's depend on us all going green.
