Create a healthier, more livable home without driving yourself crazy! This collection of bright ideas for living naturally delivers tips for avoiding chemicals, pesticides, and other environmental toxins in food and furniture, and simple ways to save water and energy, all while taking into account the realities of modern-day life. A room-by-room accounting reveals the surprising places toxins can hide, along with smart suggestions on healthier alternatives. There’s creative advice on natural foods and medicines, using lighting and color to improve a home’s mood, and keeping a natural pet. From deploying alternative energy sources to “commonsense feng shui” for how we actually live, these pointers reflect the real-world experiences of those who have made the transition to a more natural way of living. Karen Ellis - Library Journal Your home can be ecofriendly in many small ways, maintains well-known BBC radio presenter Grace, who shows here how to sustain a green lifestyle, from cleaning and personal care to holiday celebration. Her tone is perky and encouraging throughout. However, the text has not been translated for the U.S. audience, prices are in pounds, and the overwhelming list of web pages and companies are all British. Too bad, really, since the book teems with great advice on simplifying your life and your home, being conscientious consumers and buying green, and promoting fair trade and sustainable resources. While a gem overseas, this is a marginal purchase in the United States.
