Details: This is a small but very useful guide to choosing brands that are better stewards of our world. It is a quick and easy way to know how a company feels about the world and can help you make valid decisions when purchasing products. It is a national book that does contain some regional brands however in general it will only give you information for the very large companies. It could not be any simpler to use and is easily portable. My wife and I gave copies to our friends and family for the holidays a few years ago. |

Details: This is a great reference guide to help us ordinary folks be responsible consumers. The research has been done for us, now all we have to do is use it. Another reviewer called this book stupid, but I very much disagree. Little changes, big changes -- they are all working toward a healthy goal. Buy this book and share it with friends!

Review Summary: What a stupid idea! |

Details: What a stupid idea. Small change makes what? .... more small change. Incrementalism is the enemy. When a tsunami is bearing down, shifting the beach chairs a few feet won't do. "Ordinary" people can make huge changes. Just avoid this book and any more of such disempowered thinking. |
