Book Reviews of The Green Book: The Everyday Guide to Saving the Planet One Simple Step at a Time

Book Review: Leveraging celebrity and the "little things" to make a difference
Summary: 3 Stars

This book sets no grand plans, nor will ever inspire anyone to do wonderful things to protect the Earth. It's simply a collection of little things we all can do to make a positive difference in the environment. From turning off the water while brushing our teeth, to *really* thinking about if we need to make a copy of that document, this book lists hundreds of simple little tips. There are comments by celebrities on how they decided to become, like, green and stuff, that serve no purpose other than to show that celebrities can talk about it too.

Overall, a collection of useful tips that anyone could use, but that won't change the Earth in appreciable ways.

Summary of The Green Book: The Everyday Guide to Saving the Planet One Simple Step at a Time

Ellen DeGeneres, Robert Redford, Will Ferrell, Jennifer Aniston, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Martha Stewart, Tyra Banks, Dale Earnhardt, Jr., Tiki Barber, Owen Wilson, and Justin Timberlake tell you how they make a difference to the environment.

Inside The Green Book, find out how you can too:

- Turn your thermostat a degree lower in the winter; if every home in America did it we'd save enough energy to power all the home is Iowa for one whole year!

- Take a shorter shower; if America subtracted just one minute from their daily showers we'd save twice the amount of freshwater withdrawn from the Great Lakes every day!

- Reuse ribbon and wrapping paper; if two-thirds of Americans each saved an arm's length of ribbon this year, we could tie a bow around the earth!

With wit and authority, authors Elizabeth Rogers and Thomas Kostigen provide hundreds of solutions for all areas of your life, pinpointing the smallest changes that have the biggest impact on the health of our precious planet.
