review 1: This book was an eye opener for things I probably should have already realized. I thought I was in huge trouble when the very first chapter not only made me want a water filter, but somehow lead me on a Google search trail that ended with all my tupperware and dishes being replaced with glass. I was like "uh oh, this is about to be a really expensive library book!" some chapters were over the top for me and some stuff did not apply. There are a few areas I could feel smug about but many more that inspired some change. Overall it is overwhelming to try to change everything but I think I can make some real headway in the area of cleaning with more environmentally friendly cleaners and avoiding plastics as much as possible. Overall I thought it was a very approachable boo... morek to trying to clean up the environment by making personal choices at home.
review 2: “The Imperfect Environmentalist” is filled with great information from eating local, living off the grid, tips on how to care for dogs and cats the “green” way, container gardening, saving money, and parenting. For those who are rabidly interested in saving the planet, this book might be too simplistic. But for those of us who are busy, but want to do our part to save the planet, Gilbert passes along some great tips and facts that make being “green” a little bit easier.And the book is printed on 100 percent recyclable paper – Sara Gilbert walks the walk as well as talks the talk. less
