Just read this book for a research paper and I am struggling to find a research question to write about. I loved the book and I'm thinking about writing on how she changed as a person throughout the challenge. Was a fun book to read for a class (I've never said that before) and while everyone else turned this book down because of its name, I found inspiration. I already do some of these things but many of them I want to try now as soon as I move out of my house. Now I really just want to move out. Thanks so much for this awesome book! ( ) This was truly an inspiring book. Her greened up life changes influenced more than a couple changes in my own life. I'm really happy for her, and I'm really glad that I found this book tucked away in a hidden corner of an enormous bookstore, and that my wife (then fiancee) secretly bought it for my birthday. I can't thank either woman enough. I found the book a little bit to flat, I was no interested so much in her private life, but I thought it more important to know why should I quit a non stick frying pan and aluminum deodorant. It just scraped the surface, not a book for people who want to really learn how to life with nature and not from nature. Some important ideas but not convincing enough to really do it. This book follows a year in the life of author, Vanessa Farquharson. Every day she posts on her blog how she is going to live a greener life. Some of the changes are very simple, like checking her tire pressure and recycling wine corks. Eventually she makes bigger positive changes, like selling her car and unplugging her refrigerator. She faces these challenges with humor and admits to occasional lapses and hypocrisy. One of the green things I have taken away from this book is 'eat ice cream only from a cone, not from a cup.' nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
No one likes listening to smug hippies bragging about how they don't use toilet paper, or worse yet, lecturing about the evils of plastic bags and SUVs. But most of us do want to lessen our ecological footprint. With this in mind, Farquharson takes on the intense personal challenge of making one green change to her lifestyle every single day for a year to ultimately figure out what's doable and what's too hardcore. Vanessa goes to the extremes of selling her car, unplugging the fridge, and washing her hair with vinegar, but she also does easy things like switching to an all-natural lip balm. All the while, she is forced to reflect on what it truly means to be green. Whether confronting her environmental hypocrisy or figuring out the best place in her living room for a compost bin full of worms and rotting cabbage, Vanessa writes about her foray into the green world with self-deprecating, humorous, and accessible insight. This isn't a how-to book of tips, it's not about being eco-chic; it's an honest look at what happens when an average girl throws herself into the murkiest depths of the green movement.
