Going Green Made Easy
 
Review Date: July 28, 2008
Reviewer: BookBargainsandPreviews.com, New York
It seems that "green" is the buzz word in today's culture and "go green" is a popular slogan. This book by Nancy Taylor will help the novice environmentalist get their feet wet. If you are at all interested in helping to "save the planet", Go Green will help you to find out ways you can move forward and do your part.

Some of the topics that are covered are:

~Remodeling an existing home to be healthier and more energy-efficient

~Choosing the right transportation to influence the future

~Buying local, organic, sustainable food

~Conserving water at home and at the office

You will also learn what a carbon footprint is...something that I didn't know!

It is easy to read and very helpful. If you want to explore the topic of living "green" than this is a great book to start with.

Rubbish
 
Review Date: May 10, 2010
Reviewer: L. A. Calkins, Bellingham, Wa
Not all the projects are that useful but most are fun and easy to do. I will refer to this book often
Some Great Ideas
 
Review Date: October 12, 2009
Reviewer: Alissa, NJ
I like the idea of making things out of items destined for the trash heap, and this book presents some useful ideas. In most cases the end results are items that come out looking cool and stylish that would look nice in my home, and that I wouldn't mind giving out as gifts. There are detailed directions for different projects as well as some ideas to inspire you to come up with projects of your own. The detailed instructions are well-illustrated and clear. My only complaint is that some of the projects involve way too many steps or too much extra material. For example it's probably a lot easier to simply recycle an aluminum can than to go through all the work necessary to make one little pendant from a piece of aluminum can.
not quite interesting
 
Review Date: September 6, 2009
Reviewer: Evagelia Topalidou, athens, greece
The first part that has to do with girl accessories it's somehow fresh and has a lot of nice things. The second part with home accessories it's not interesting enough to amaze you. The crafts aren't something that we haven't seen before.
Accurate title
 
Review Date: July 21, 2008
Reviewer: N. DeSantis, LA, CA
I searched the inside of this book on Amazon, and was impressed by the variety of materials they suggest to reuse and craft with. When I got the book, I realized that was the only interesting part of the book. The ideas in here are so elementary, things you would see on forums, nothing original or even very appealing. Using a bottlecap to make a magnet? Needless to say, I returned this book in short order. I can't see anyone finding this book useful.
Cool Book
 
Review Date: July 17, 2008
Reviewer: Yael Bolender, Los Angeles, CA
In this book there are a few interesting ideas to recycle, reuse, transform things. I wouldn't say it is absolutely crazy and revolutionary, but it's interesting and deserves to be read. In this field, any good idea is welcome as we never recycle enough. If it can teach people to be a little more careful when it's about throwing, it would be good. So many perfect things are thrown away with no reason !
Conclusion : it's a book to read.

Not Very Pratical and Not Earth Friendly Enough!
 
Review Date: December 13, 2007
Reviewer: Say No to Plastics, Earth
Some of the ideas are over the top and not likely I would do many of the ideas, even though I'm very creative. It's still promoting bottle water and paper /plastic plates, when we should be promoting tap water and reusable porcelain plates. What about powder ice tea in glass cup or drink mix? Would love to have seen more practical ideas that any busy person can do and have a really eco-friendly party that doesn't leave bags full trash at the end of the party. Ideas needs to send a stronger message for earth friendly parties.
Green has never looked so stylish!
 
Review Date: July 25, 2007
Reviewer: Crystal Hansen, Orange County, Ca USA
This book is a great way to get you thinking of ways to celebrate responsibly without sacrificing style! As a children's event planner I am always looking for ways to celebrate and yet preserve our precious environment so the parties can continue for generations to come. Danny brings a new perspective to the concepts of reduce, recycle and reuse. I am excited at the many concepts that can be adapted or just plain copied to create many chic parties to come. Even if your faorite color is pink, with this book you can still go green.
An amazing little book.
 
Review Date: July 14, 2006
Reviewer: Marie E. Gibson, Rochester, NY USA
I saw this guy on the Today Show and he was very captivating and creative. His book is the same way, with pretty cool ideas on how to make gatherings unique using "green" products. It makes a great gift, too.
Great gift!
 
Review Date: June 14, 2006
Reviewer: A. M. Kim, Virginia
I just received this book today and was so impressed by its presentation and great ideas. The size of the book is somewhere between a paperback book and a coffee table book so it's perfect to carry with you as well as a great little gift to give. I'm planning on buying more so I can give them out as housewarming gifts. The ideas are fresh and innovative and keeping in mind with being eco friendly. Highly recommend getting it! And will wait to get the follow up book, Simply Green Giving.
