Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)In her third book in this series, Deirdre Imus tackles the "greening" of us as individuals. From cosmetics to soaps to foods..everything has been researched and is well-documented without being overly pushy or completely non-understandable. Her down-to-earth approach at highlighting the influx of chemicals into our daily lives is enough to make even the most steadfast non-believer take another look- a hard look.
Imus advocates natural healing, earth-friendly and chemical-free products and a vegan diet, but she isn't pushy in her viewpoints. She explains in simple text what benefits these things play in her life and how one can take parts and pieces of that to incorporate into their lives. In each chapter, she lists the "worst offenders" and gives suggestions for alternatives (i.e, nix this mascara or this snack food and try this instead). It is easy to skip around in chapters to look something up on the fly, but it is just as simple to read the book cover-to-cover (as I did) and feel like you had a week's work of reading in one sitting. Very informative.
Overall, the entire book is about choosing. We can't do everything. In fact, some of us can only do a little bit due to cost, but we can start making some better decisions in the hope that the government and the companies who make this product will start paying attention.
