Author and environmentalist
Alicia Marie Smith challenges the
everyday person to take on the
responsibility for going green.
With a bit of time, commitment,
and some thoughtful decisions
about the products you buy, what
you do with them when they are
used up, and how you think and feel about the entire process of
going green, even the tiniest of efforts can make a big difference.
In her practical book 50 Plus One Tips For Going Green, you
will learn: why going and staying green is so important; what are
renewable and sustainable resources; why recycling and freecycling
are crucial to the war on junk; the green method of buying
a car; how simple changes in and around the home can
make a huge difference; and what being a green consumer is all
about. Join the most important movement of the 21st century
— and become a citizen of the world in your own small way.
