This is an excellent book for anyone who is thinking of building a green home. Whether they are hiring a builder or doing it themselves, this book will guide them through the process.

The Everything Kids Environment Book - Sheri Amsel - "Learn how you can help save the environment- by getting involved at school, at home, or at play"

 

If you have kids, you need this book and you need it now while they are out of school with nothing to do! This book is filled with cool experiments that you can do with your child and activities they can do on their own. It answers commonly asked questions and helps build their vocabulary with the definitions to words we should all learn and be aware of such as extinct and ozone-depleting gases. I found it fun and informative even as an adult. You will enjoy learning about the environment along with your kids.

 

 

Outdoor Living Idea Book - Lee Anne White - "Outdoor Kitchens * Dining & Entertaining * Pools and Play Spaces * Furniture and Landscaping "

 

Part of Green Living is getting back to basics and learning to commune with nature. We are not suggesting you pitch a tent in the back yard, but by doing a little more outdoor living you will certainly lower those utility bills. This book helps you to move outdoors in comfort and style. It is loaded with ideas ranging from outdoor fireplaces and grills to kid’s play spaces and open-air showers. If nothing else, you will enjoy the beautiful color photographs that dress up every page.
