Diane, so wonderfully illustrates how women are influential. Women spend $.85 for every dollar spent and that means when we make a purchase we have a lot of power. I just look at my grandmother. She made all the decisions for the homes they bought, cars, groceries, furniture, clothing, etc. That’s a lot of buying power and she’s just one woman. Add all of us women up and we can sway marketing and tell big companies that we want more organic products or won’t stand for BPA in our baby bottles.
Big Green Purse is “big” but it has details on why you want to shift your spending and how you can do just that. Details on the environmental impact products have on animals, humans and global warming. Product suggestions, where to begin tips, how to’s and moreover examples on ways to use that Big Green Purse. Just stop and think of what it would mean if every mom would stop buying BPA sippy cups or baby bottles. Would there be any other option but for companies to stop using the chemical? Ev...

Theodore Roszak states near the beginning of this book that “what I offer here is an appeal for the building of a new humane social order”. He develops this theme as he calls on the baby boomer generation to change the direction of what he perceives to be an overly conservative society. He finds the current culture in the USA is based on the old military-industrial complex model. I think he wants his book to be a call to arms; a plea for society to become more concerned about the welfare of all. He is asking the Woodstock generation to leave behind the board rooms and high pressure markets that have dominated their lives since shedding their flower-power skins. Now that they have comfortably made it into retirement or semi-retirement years ( some of us have, some of us not so comfortable), he thinks it’s time for the boomers to turn from personal gain and success and look to a kinder, gentler future for all Americans. Rather than just working to “keep aging at bay” he promotes this as ...

While searching to get back to this page, I realised that 'Butterfly Vivarium' is only one of the half-dozen or so butterfly-related books available via ecoBrain. A simple, no frills, how-to book to build a small butterfly-friendly space near your home. Sounds practical. Will it work? Honestly, I've not tried it... but it made the topic sound do-able enough that I was quickly enthused to try it out. Will I? Hopefully so....

I am not an experienced gardener. In fact my friends and family say that I have a black thumb. My usual method of gardening is to plant a variety of plants, see which ones grow and then plant more of whatever grows. The only problem with this technique is that when I try to find more of the plants which have done well I either don't remember the name of the plant or the nursery does not have any more of them. I was therefore intrigued by this title. I was at first concerned that it would be too advanced for someone like me, but it proved to be written in a manner that made it useful for both a novice gardener like me or a more advanced gardener.
I have wanted for some time to plant native azaleas in my yard. The woods around my home have a good assortment of them and following the directions given I have taken some cuttings and am rooting them. I plan to transplant them in the spring.
I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to save money by propagating plants from th...

The Natural Child is the instruction manual that should have come with your child.
Jan Hunt’s The Natural Child: Parenting from the Heart has a basic premise: Trust children. They may be small in size, but they deserve to have their needs taken seriously. She calls it empathic parenting: believing what we know in our heart to be true.
Peggy O’Mara, the publisher of Mothering magazine, writes in the foreword:
Jan tells it like it is. Children and adults are not different. We have the same feelings. Children who are disciplined with love respond lovingly…Children deserve to be treated with respect.
As a parent, we get conflicting messages about child-rearing. Our parents did it one way, child psychologists tell us different, school teachers have their opinion, the latest ideas in parenting are on TV, and they all disagree.
The Natural Child is golden. It offers age-old wisdom and practical tips, all with love and compassion. The skills taught in this book apply to all chi...

The Green Teen is named “the eco-friendly teen’s guide to saving the planet” and wow is it ever! Jenn has a way of writing that is informative but yet simple so going green and being green isn’t difficult or stressful. This book is an easy enjoyable read (which teens - as well as adults - will appreciate), making green living a pleasure not seem like a task.
Teens are fortunate to have this resource available to them. With the information contained in The Green Teen, teens and anyone who reads this book will be able to make a change in the world by helping the environment. A variety of topics are discussed, from “greening yourself”, “green home”, “green school” and “green world”. There is a wealth of information jam packed in this 183 page book.
Fortunately our children are being brought up in a time where environmental issues are being publicized and many are trying to salvage the pla...
