Green: American Style by Anna M. Clark {Giveaway!}

Green, American Style: Becoming Earth-Friendly and Reaping the Benefits by Anna Clark

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

MY REVIEW:

I must confess that I am not a big advocate of "going green" and I accepted this review opportunity more out of curiosity than a desire to learn more. However, while I can't say I agree with everything the author said, I can say hat Anna Clark definitely challenged my thinking and lifestyle.

The overarching principle of this book is about our stewardship for the sake of our testimony rather than for the cause of going green. I appreciated Clark's approach to the issues of going green in the first half of the book without preaching or condemning those who don't embrace the cause. The rest of the book is an encouraging practical guide on how to go green at any level in order to make your life simpler and your wallet fuller. While presenting a balanced view of going green this book takes you back the roots of living a moderate life - the good life.

BOOK OVERVIEW:

From soccer moms to CEOs, Americans of all stripes are finding their footing in the green movement. Are you curious about earth-friendly living but confused by the hype?

You'll discover how our families, our businesses and our communities can lead the change by simply conserving and sustaining our most precious resources.
