COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Practical, if you ignore the celebrity contributions

This book provides steps for a simple approach to living less wasteful lives. Reading this book doesn't make you feel guilty and it doesn't preach. Instead, it shows you how simple changes can help you use the resources we take for granted more efficiently.
I also found this book to be a useful reference guide for making informed decisions. It contains an index and is arranged by topic, such as "home", "school" and "shopping" so you get specific pointers for distinct areas of life rather than as broad generalizations.
Between each section, there are celebrity testimonials. I found all of these unimpressive, from Owen Wilson mumbling that he likes driving a Prius to Tyra Banks telling me to keep my life simple. The celebrity pages are easy to ignore, but the many tips to help you reduce waste in your life are not.
This is a great resource for anyone interested in cutting back for the greater good.
