review 1: During my marriage, the green movement was always scoffed at, so I'm taking some time to look into it, as a little manifestation of noting my personal freedom. I enjoyed this book a lot more than I thought I would. I like how the author tells an interesting story while adding green changes to her life each day for a year. While I won't adopt all of her suggestions (and neither does she, at the end of the year), I certainly found plenty of things to adjust in my lifestyle that will help me save money and live more responsibly. The book also happens to be a great love story.
review 2: Vanessa Farquharson amusingly relates, through what I assume are select edited blog posts, her attempt to become more environmentally conscious over the course of a year by maki... moreng one small green change each day. About nine months in, she's dismayed to realize it's a leap year, and therefore she must make 366 changes, not 365. She perseveres and is successful. Many of her changes are fairly inconsequential, but many, such as unplugging her refrigerator, are more dramatic. Reading Sleeping Naked is Green is a great way to realize just how un-green you are (or at least it was for me). She includes monthly lists of her changes if you want to emulate her actions. less
