Green, Greener, Greenest Book by Lori Bongiorno
I loved this book ! First off, this book was printed on 100% recycled paper and it is a great oatmeal color and a great size and feel. I know you can get books online, and I checked out this book from the library, however, I have added this to my TO BUY list. This is a reference book that I kept reading over and over and have checked out twice from the library.
"Looking to live a more eco-friendly life but don’t know where to start? Or have you already made changes but want to do more? Green, Greener, Greenest, by journalist Lori Bongiorno, offers a whole spectrum of environmentally conscious choices, because there is no one “right” way to be green. "
The book is laid out in chapters about types of products we use or items we use such as: Food, Beverages, Personal Care Products. Lori provides the latest information and education surrounding those topics and then concludes each chapter with your Green, Greener, and Greenest options.

Here's one example about Deodorant and Anti-Perspirants:
- Green = Avoid products containing parabens
- Green = Avoid antiperspirants which contain aluminum
- Greener = Try a natural brand of deodarant
- Greenest = Instead of convential products, try an alternative product like rock salt, a crystal product, or baking soda
Here's another example about Baby Diapers:
- Green = If you use disposables, empty contents into toliet before tossing soiled diapers. Untreated fecal matter can potentially contaminate ground water if it leaks from landfills. (I never knew this ! When I occasionally use paper diapers I know empty the contents before putting in the trash)
- Greener = If you go for disposables, try a a natural brand like Tushies, Seventh Generation, or Tendercare - all made without cholrine.
- Greenest = Use cloth diapers, there are all sorts of great diaper systems out there (I use primarily cloth and will write a future blog on this)
Check out this book from your local library, suggest that your local library purchase it if they haven't already, buy this book as a resource to More Green = More Life !
