This book is helpful to inspire small changes and become more knowledgable, which is perfect for those beginning to think about consumerism and delving into the low waste life style.

Good, simple advice on making healthy choices in all areas of your life, including your home, personal care products, cleaning products, cookware, sunscreen, you name it. The information is provided in a helpful, thorough way, but is brief enough not to be overwhelming and the author has been working in this field for decades. Lots of studies are cited. This is a good primer for making healthy choices if you don't know where to start.

I've definitely been feeling a longing to live a greener life so this book fell into my hands at just the right time. Taking on board the lessons about greener living has given me lots of small changes to make, hopefully for a positive impact on my health and the environment. Thanks to the publisher and netgalley for an ARC.

As someone who is increasingly worried about the toxins around me I really enjoyed this book. The thought of toxins being all around you can be stressful and overwhelming. Luckily Gay takes her approach in an easy to digest manner. This is a good book to introduce you to simple changes you can make without being completely overwhelmed.

A great guide to making safer and better choices for our environment and our health. Each chapter includes a summary of actions you can take to better that area ( air quality, beauty products, etc) at the end. Those are what I found most helpful. Many of these problems most of us are already aware of-- it is what we can do that is the confusing part. A great resource to help you along in the right direction. We may not all be able to make the big and expensive changes, but some are simple and cost effective.
