Jodi Helmer's The Green Year is a nifty little book that has
a new green tip that can be done each day of the year. Some of the tips include
simple things such as changing your furnace filter or your car's air filter.
Other tips are a bit more complicated like scheduling green get-togethers or
professional inspections on your HVAC unit.
This book, written in 2008, is still largely up to date.
There are a few websites listed that are no longer active. Most of the
information is good and almost all of it aimed at a beginner to going green.
There was a lot of white space in the book that doesn't seem very green at all
but you can use it to take notes. I'm a fan of progressively stepping up your
involvement in the green movement but stepping it up every day seems like it
would lead to a quick burn out (the book does not advocate this). I have done
most of the things listed but it is always nice to see new, cheap ideas.
Great for someone just getting started into the green life,
but pick and choose the methods you want to use verses trying to do all of
them. And you can pick it up used for less than a dollar on Amazon or Half Price Books Marketplace (search
the ISBN 1592578292).
