This inspiring how-to book teaches you with easy-to-remember ideas that actually are practical and with money-saving ideas that make you want to live green and stay there. Readers are encouraged to use resources differently and to view the world in a new way. Guilt Free & Green is a truly great addition to the gotta-go-green genre. Sustainable living: Whether you have been an avid environmentalist for years or are just getting started, this book gives new and interesting ideas. Half the battle is changing your habits and getting your head around the idea of the change so that it actually happens.

“An eco-friendly life is never an all or nothing prospect; don't let the fact that you can't do everything prevent you from doing anything. This book contains dozens of ways to reduce your environmental impact, from buying in bulk to greening your mailbox; mixing up your own laundry soap or going shampoo-free. All you need to do is begin. And now you know how.” --Madeleine Somerville, blogger and author of All You Need is Less
