“Green This!” Book Reviews

The two books in Deirdre Imus’ series, Green This, are both very informative. Vol. 1: Greening Your Cleaning I’m going to have to buy this one to keep on hand as a reference.

Early on, I was [...]

It gives an interesting background on consumerism and how our country wasn’t always all about shopping, using, wasting, etc. like we seem to be now. And to be honest, a lot of [...]

Community Supported Agriculture
