Book of Green Household Management

I've been asked by a publisher to review a book called 'The Essential Thrift Bible. Ms Harris's Book of Green Household Management', by Caroline Harris. It felt great when it arrived in the post, it was a bit like receiving a gift because this is a book that I might buy if I were browsing in a bookshop. It's a lovely little book and reads very easily with a nice dose of wit. It's divided into chapters which makes it an easy book to dip in and out of whenever it takes your fancy and the index at the back is a very useful addition because this book is jam packed full of very practical and useful tips and ideas on how to live with a low environmental impact. It covers everything from household cleaning, to growing your own vegetables, raising kids and energy etiquette. It's not just anecdotal either, there is accurate information on how to do all these things. It's a little book that gives you the knowledge you need to make changes in your lifestyle that will make a difference. It's a very useful little thing to have as a reference book but it's also a source of enjoyable reading and entertainment. Give it a go ... or give it to a friend ...

It sounds brilliant, it's nice to get recommendations there are SO many books along this line and some are just what you know already, so to have one recommended as being actually useful is very good.

That does sound interesting - I'm always a bit worried that when we go home from the allotment we're not doing the same green sustainable living as we do when we are there.

What a delight to find your blog (from a reference to your nettle soup post). Our farms sound rather similar, though on opposite sides of the globe. Always such fun to run into like-minded folks.
Best wishes from the central US.
