Non-Fiction
Do One Green Thing: Saving the Earth Through Simple, Everyday Choices
By Mindy Pennybacker
If you can only read and reference one green thing, make it this book: an easily comprehensible, clearly presented source for green living. Everything you need to know is right here at your fingertips. Unlike a lot of other overwhelming green guides on the market, this is green decision-making in bite sized pieces. With chose it/lose it comparisons throughout, now it's simple to figure out it's worth switching to a green detergent, what kind of plastic your sports bottle is made of, or which fish is safest to eat. Rather than spending time trying to figure out how best to go green, use this book and devote that time to making the difference. By Mindy Pennybacker, ex-editor-in-chief of The Green Guide and co-founder of the affiliated website, with foreword by Meryl Streep. This book grew out of Pennybacker's longstanding commitment to answering readers' questions about green living. St. Martin's Griffin/Thomas Dunne Books, 2010. ISBN 978-0-312-55976-2.
