Easy Green Living: The Ultimate Guide to Simple, Eco-Friendly Choices for You and Your Home
With all the five star ratings previously, I had high expectations for this book. Sadly, it did not live up to those expectations and for one reason only: this book includes way too much information about chemicals and the harm they cause. Don’t get me wrong, I want to know ‘generally’ about these things such as parabens, etc. but I don’t need a complete list of every chemical manufactured on the planet and what they do. I did not find that positive or motivating. Having said that, YOU may want to know! And, I would actually buy this book again. It is a great reference book that you could go back to over and over again. And, because it is so detailed, it would really help you find anything you could possible ever need. For example, later today I will be checking a website that she mentioned that sells eco-friendly lightbulbs that can be used with a dimmer switch! And I may take a look at a company that sells reclaimed wood for replacing my floors…It really is a great book, I just felt that I was skipping over the parts which I didn’t have such an interest in.
Rating: 4 / 5
This book is very easy to read with wonderful and useful information. If you want to start thinking “green” then this book is a great start.
Rating: 5 / 5
This book is loaded with great ideas for just being more aware of our environment, but some of the information is for better health and wellness. I have not finished the book yet, but I will keep it in my reference library.
Rating: 5 / 5
I have re-read this book at least four times. Ms. Loux did extensive research, citing sources for every assertion she made. I reviewed a random sampling of her footnotes, and for each study she referenced the evidence was reflected accurately in her book. In addition, her Green Thumb Guides are immensely helpful and thoroughly researched as well.
I am new to the green movement, and I feel that I can trust Ms. Loux as a source of quality information to help me make positive changes.

My interest in green living started as a child. I was raised with many of the green ways before we knew they were green. I checked this book out from our local library and liked it so much I decided to buy it as a reference book. I especially like the listings of products on the market that are eco-friendly, although I do make many myself with the green basics. I’ve even got one of my son-in-law’s interested. This is an incredibly good book for people moving to a greener lifestyle. Everyone should own it.
