Product Description:
Ellen DeGeneres, Robert Redford, Will Ferrell, Jennifer Aniston, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Martha Stewart, Tyra Banks, Dale Earnhardt, Jr., Tiki Barber, Owen Wilson, and Justin Timberlake tell you how they make a difference to the environment.
Inside The Green Book, find out how you can too:
- Don’t ask for ATM receipts. If everyone in the United States refused their receipts, it would save a roll of paper more than two billion feet long, or enough to circle the equator fifteen times!
- Turn off the tap while you brush your teeth. You’ll conserve up to five gallons of water per day. Throughout the entire United States, the daily savings could add up to more water than is consumed every day in all of New York City.
- Get a voice-mail service for your home phone. If all answering machines in U.S. homes were replaced by voice-mail services, the annual energy savings would total nearly two billion kilowatt hours. The resulting reduction in air pollution would be equivalent to removing 250,000 cars from the road for a year!
With wit and authority, authors Elizabeth Rogers and Thomas Kostigen provide hundreds of solutions for all areas of your life, pinpointing the smallest changes that have the biggest impact on the health of our precious planet.

The Green Book: The Everyday Guide to Saving the Planet One Simple Step at a Time
This book is the best book on living green I have ever read.It is easy to understand, breaks down the why and how and is even printed in recycled materials.I think this is a must own in the new green economy!
Rating:  - It was alright
It wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be. 90% of the stuff in here was common sense or stuff our parents taught us years and years ago. I ended up passing it on to a friend who was talking about buying it herself. Thought I'd save her some cash and maybe save yet another book from going in the trash.
Rating:  - Hop on the Green Bandwagon with the Poster Children of Trends: Celebrities!
This book is decent in the following ways:
--It's mostly a tip book; there are some irrelevant "essays" or blurbs provided by some of today's popular celebrities (like Tyra Banks, Ellen Degeneres) but fortunately, you can skip them
--For the most part, it's an optimistic book.It just offers ideas that make you more aware of the way you're living and ways you can change it.It means well enough
--The Book is printed with 100% postconsumer recycled paper/fiber
