At a Glance:
The subtitle - A Handbook for Earth-Friendly Living - sums up this book well. The author has created a helpful list of practical tips for being green in day-to-day life, which are nicely organized according to what aspect of life they apply to. She has also compiled a list of helpful websites, both for more information on being green and for environment-friendly shopping. As the title suggests, her emphasis is on how easy it is to be green.

Best for:
Anyone interested in being green. This book would be a great starting point for someone who is new to green living, but it would be just as useful to someone who is already trying to live a green life but is perhaps looking for a few more ways to help the environment.

Standout Features:
The 50+ pages of tips for becoming green, complete with check-boxes so the reader can keep track of his/her progress and know which areas still need work.
