Refreshing
Generation Green is refreshing and informative in a way that can appeal to all ages. As a busy working mother I have not taken the time to be as educated on ” being green” as I would have liked. This is a tool that has been a bridge to discussion and action for my family. My 10 year old was actually more educated that we were.The book talks about issues great and small in a way that doesn’t seem like preaching. The tips on eating, shopping, traveling, pet care and cleaning are sensible, doable, and things we would never had thought of ourselves. I am donating a copy to my son’s school library. (The fact that a mother and teenage son did this socially conscious project together is just heart-warming icing on the cake)

Great book for Teens
Great book for teen researching subject for school project. It is difficult to find books on this topic which are not too technical or pedantic. Highly recommended. Prompt delivery of the book in excellent condition.

Good Book!
I needed this book for a science class. I had to do reflections on five different chapters. It was a good book!

Good information
This book contains some good information. Most I was familiar with but others not. Never heard about the problems with burning candles indoors, but it makes sense. I also enjoyed the story in the front of the book about Tosh’s family packing him ( age 5 through 9) & the family up to move into a wooded area in New Mexico to live off the land. Right down to an Outhouse, chopping wood for heat, catching rain water for drinking, etc.The reason for the 3 star rating is that I feel the book could be condensed. As one other reviewer said “too wordy” I think of the paper that could have been saved by rearranging the words to a more easily read& shorter format. Nor does this book have an Index. Advertisements, References & a list of Green websites but no Index in the back of the book. I found this frustrating when I wanted to go back & look for various information.

Can’t say enough!
In these times we are living in, it is crucial that everyone know how to conserve and recycle. As an adult looking back, we were never taught such things in school. Granted, it’s been a few years! But it was just not important in those days 10-15 years ago. I remember my parents recycling pop cans because they went through a case a week as well as the daily newspaper, but they never took it beyond that.When I was about 17 I took a huge interest in preservation after a project in school in which we had to petition to save one of our local marshlands from being filled in order to build more housing. That battle was won and it made me feel empowered, so I took it a few steps further and did tons of independent research which has brought me to where I am today.The things that I do to conserve and recycle you would think are common knowledge, especially since we are experiencing all time highs in energy costs. But sadly, the information isn’t right in front of you. You have to look for it. And for a child who may not have parents that are into preservation and conservation and isn’t hearing about it in school, they are likely to continue on being blissfully ignorant of the dire situation our planet is in.This book is the perfect solution to that. It covers nearly everything one needs to know to live green and it’s packaged nicely in an easy to read and easy to understand format. No big words to intimidate younger kids and slightly larger than normal text make this an easy pick up and read. It also does much to empower kids, labeling them “Generation Green”, the hope of the future. It really makes them feel important and feel like they really can do something, and they can! And with this book, hopefully they will.My little one is far too young to grasp all of this now, but you can bet I’ll be holding onto this book for the day when he’s ready to read it and become a Green Guardian himself. And hopefully he will spread the word to other children. Teaching our kids to live green is as important as teaching them to walk and talk. If you’re not up to speed on all you need to know, just another reason to pick up this book so you can read it together. Highly recommended!
