Book Description

Here's the perfect introduction for people who want to go organic but don't know how to get started—or aren't always sure they know what "organic" means. At last, environmental consciousness and organic living have moved beyond mere good intentions to become workable lifestyle choices. The author reviews the history of organic practices, starting in the 1930s with a certain Mister Kellogg (of cereal fame), who was then thought to be eccentric, and continuing to the present day. She goes on to discuss the following idea in depth: Why go organic? ... Buying organic foods and what the many certification symbols mean ... Growing organic food, with tips on choosing vigorous plants ... Cooking organic, including recipes and preparation methods ... Teaching kids the benefits of organic living. A concluding chapter points out the limitations of going organic and offers a few simple rules to live by. The book features approximately 250 illustrations, all in full color.

Very good, easy to follow advise.......2007-03-29

This book has been very helpful to me in learning how to incorporate more ways to be organic in my life/home/eating/etc.
Practical advise & ways to make a difference, even if it is only a small one.
Effective ways to go organic in regards to babies (glass not plastic bottles!, pesticides in kids), building homes (low voc paint, no voc paint), painting, eating, gardening, banking and a lot more.
Of the 4 "green" books that I own so far, this one has the most & best advice in it.

Simple wise advise.......2006-05-29

Oddly enough one of the best pieces of organic food advise I have heard that this book seems to drive home is read labels as if you were reading a medication prescription, and know what is in the item you are buying, whether it is food, clothing, cars, furniture. Then stop and ask yourself if you really need the item or simply want it. Less is best and thinking as if you lived pre WW2 helps because this was an era where people grew more of their own foods, wore clothes out, repaired items rather than toss them out and buy a new item.

Great introduction to Organic living.......2001-09-28

Loved the simple approach, but best of all learned Organics is not a marketing hype, but an increasing, interested way of life for many. This motivated me to search out organics, laws, labeling, government agencies and other web sites. I have learned Americans are bombarded with unnecessary chemicals, and consumerism, and we should have a choice about what we purchase. Some states are ahead in this lifestyle than others. Unfortunately, we trust the products with the small amounts, but fail to think about its build up. I am learning. Great book, and making the transformation into organics-food, cosmetics, cleaning etc. And have saved money by living a more simple life.
