Really Green
With all the green hype, even educated, well-meaning shoppers often have difficulty discerning between products that offer genuine health and environmental benefits and those that are only full of "greenwashed" promises.
Really Green simplifies the purchasing process with basic principles that allow you to sift through the hype and buy green products with absolute confidence.
"Debra Lynn Dadd helps set the record straight on all shades of green...She breaks it down using understandable language so even a novice to the world of eco-friendly shopping can start making informed decisions...She provides a foundation for defining products that claim to be green, and reviews basic green principles, types of products and even green packaging." -- girlawhirl.com
Cradle to Cradle
I studied this book quite thoroughly and highly recommend it--though I don't always agree with everything it says! The important thing is that the authors and I agree that we must develop ways of providing for our human needs in ways that expand good for all life rather than being less bad, and they explain just how they propose manufacturers can do that. This book is written for the business community, but applies to consumers as well, as we all need to make this change together.
