Seattle Times This is our kind of book. . . . a groovy green heap o' advice for working, working out, eating, shopping, commuting, raising kids, raising pets - basically, for life.

\ From Barnes & NobleForget the guilt; forget the panic; learn to live green. That seems to be the message of Grist's guide to grassroots sustainability. Readers familiar with the online magazine's credo will know what to expect: "We believe that news about green issues and sustainable living doesn't have to be predictable, demoralizing, or dull. We butter the vegetables! And add salt!" Wake Up and Smell the Planet supports that philosophy with helpful suggestions about making little choices that ultimately make a big difference.
