Wake Up and Smell the Planet: The Non-Pompous, Non-Preachy Grist Guide to Greening Your Day
Not a guide about guilt, but about making little choices throughout the day that improve the planet.
Grist is the hottest online magazine covering sustainability and popular culture.
Like Grist, this is a quirky, humorous, entertaining, and sometimes irreverent read. We all have our morning routines, whether it's making coffee, walking the dog, feeding the kids, a shower and a shave, the office commute, or some combination thereof. And at each of these morning moments-in fact, at any given time throughout the day-we're making choices. What to eat, what to wear, how to dispose of dog poop or diapers, how to travel from point A to point B, where to have a post-work cocktail, and on, and on-this compact and resourceful handbook takes a look at how to simplify and "green" our daily choices, from the moment we get up in the morning, until we finally lay our heads down at night.
Grist magazine's news about green issues and sustainable living is far from predictable. A self-proclaimed "beacon in the smog," it provides some of the most refreshing and knowledgeable voices on how to live wisely and promote a healthy world. Consider this guide an off-line beacon, bringing Grist's edgy authority, impeccable research, and planetary cheerleading to a broader audience.
a waste of paper (2008-10-06) Rating: 1/5
This book is too concerned with being humorous than providing information. There was hardly any tips in it that I didn't already know. I would not recommend this to anyone who is serious about going green.
Not as good as I had hoped (2008-09-08) Rating: 2/5
I was hoping for more detail, background and explanations. More of just a general guide without a whole lot of depth

Simple ideas for healthier generations! (2008-06-13) Rating: 5/5
As a subscriber to the weekly Grist email, I bought this for my mom to enlighten her with green ideas. She loved it and immediately started telling me things that she started doing at home and at work to make a difference for her granddaughter's generation. Another reason for them to fall even deeper in love - their environment!
