Working in a library gives me the opportunity to see all sorts of books I wouldn't necessarily know about. Just yesterday one came through that I have decided to check out in an effort to present you with solid, researched info on the topics at hand. The book is from 2001, it is called Green Living by Sarah Callard & Diane Mills.
In the introduction they present 5 principal changes we should all work to make in our lives in an effort to regain the balance of nature which we have most certainly upset. They are:
- Decrease reliance on fossil fuels - say energy, choose plant-based materials, avoid petrochemicals
- Reject all toxic pesticides - organic eating and gardening
- Stop buying plastic - duh!
- Recycle as much as possible - reuse, reject disposible stuff, & compost
- Buy from sustainable sources - buy FSC wood products, bamboo, fair-trade
