I think this is a good book for people interested in going green, but comes up with this and that excuse why they cannot do it, at least not now. I have gone green and I have been a vegan for a long time, so I am not the best audience for these comics. However, I am sure quite a few people can relate to this and because we are talking about comic strips it is not about dreadfully long texts, but a fast read many can relate to, not preachy, but forgiving. It is about trying to be greener, failing, trying again, and finding a good solution that fits your own needs.

A cute graphic novel that seemed more of a autobiography than an actual guide to going green. It was fun to read about the author's personal views and get a peek into her life. I found some parallels with her life and mine, so it was easy to connect with the story.

This was a super simple yet enjoyable comic to read! The artist/author was relateable and entertaining, and I easily found something in every short story that I could say #me to! The humor was light although sometimes cringey, and overall this book told the story of a twenty-something year old trying to be as eco-friendly as possible in a world where the easiest and fastest options are the complete opposite

This was a quirky comic! It's more like a diary style graphic novel, rather than an actual guide, so would not pick it up if you want useful tips. Overall enjoyed the art style, but thought the humour was a bit cringey at some points.

‘Going Green’ is a humorous memoir told in comic form about environmentalism and responsibility. Maïte Robert illustrates her environmentalist journey in a comedic way giving inspiration to the reader to make more environmentally friendly choices. This was a fun, lighthearted read. I enjoyed the comedic writing, the fun illustrations and the self-deprecating jokes. The comic gives good insight to easily accessible changes we can all make in our lives to be more eco-friendly. But most importantly, it gives the message that you don’t need to be the best, most eco-friendly person, you just have to make small day-to-day changes to help the planet.

I enjoyed this book. I appreciate the comedy of this effort we all have to make. Although, sometimes I wish there were more honest solutions instead of pithy suggestions that ended up not working out for the author. But I really do get this struggle, especially the portion on anxiety. I am often stressed that nothing I do matters in the scheme of things, but it's still so important to try. I wish everyone would read books like this and TRY to do better and be better for our planet.

Omg! I love this graphic novel/comic collection so much!

And I know the struggle is real when it comes to being a perfect adult but you do whatever the best you can and it’s not always ideal.

This book brings up things we don’t want to do in order to make our surrounding a little more environment friendly. But there are things we don’t want to give up just because we enjoy them so much on a daily basis. The struggle is real I repeat.

It’s always easy to say what’s good but it’s never that easy to follow what’s the best. We compromise and we as human beings want to do more good.

The book is about all this.

I absolutely love the illustrations! Go for it.

Thank you, Europe Comics, for the advance reading copy.

We'd like to thank NetGalley and Europe Comic for the opportunity to read a copy of this wonderful book in advance! Going Green is one of the funniest and most relatable comics we've read in a while. It outlines the individual responsibility society oftentimes puts on younger generations to be green and to do their part in saving our environment and being sustainable. This book is incredibly funny and realistic in that is shows the failures as well as the successes, the compromises as well as the commitments. But it also doesn't forget the heart of the problem. Each chapter focuses on one aspect of sustainability, by making it glaringly obvious that we live in a capitalist society run by powerful corporate shareholders and no matter how hard we try, we can't lower our impact on the environment on our own. Overall, this book was a joy to read. Not all of the jokes sat well with us, but most did. We also enjoyed the art and the personal anecdotes and pictures throughout the book. We'd definitely recommend this book!

A wonderful, encouraging and uplifting collection of the author's trials and tips for making incremental, meaningful changes to promote a better future for the planet and ourselves.

Following the author’s journey toward a smaller carbon footprint, this graphic novel is relatable to young adults and younger millennials who are trying to follow the same path. This is a great purchase for an educational, yet humorous look at possible ways to go green (and how setbacks happen). It reminds the reader that it’s okay to start small and that the occasional slip up is okay. The graphic novel format engages readers who may shy away from (or don’t have time for) a longer book, and the illustrations provide a lot of humor. Verdict: a solid purchase for public library collections.

So, it's cute. If you like reading witty comics about real life events, definitely for this. I did however spend a lot of time questioning what the point of it was.

To my understanding this was supposed to be about going green, which it is. Kind of. Very kind of. It's nice to see that, similarly to myself, someone else is having harder times with some aspects of going green than others, and that no one is going to be perfect. But I think for it to really be a book about going green and being environmentally friendly, it needed to have either more info on how to do that or something to more heavily emphasize that. As it stands, I would says it's more of a "my day to day life while I try to be environmentally friendly sometimes".

Now, I think this would make a fun web comic. The layout as it stands is very similar to a web comic anyways. The stories are short and non related to each other (aside from the characters, because it's about the authors life, so yeah). It's witty enough, and the drawing is enticing enough that I think that would be the best course for this guy.

It was cute read, but yeah I don't know that I'd say it's a book specifically about being green.

I enjoyed reading about the vicissitudes of a person who is attempting to live a little better - ecologically speaking - partly because the identification is immediate (with the exclusion of the cat).
The author renders with few words and appropriate drawings, all the inner travail that accompanies us in a realization of how wrong we currently are and how much we contribute to the destruction of our planet. Despite this, it also makes us laugh.

Mi sono divertita a leggere le peripezie di una persona che sta tentando una svolta verde nella sua vita, anche perché l'immedesimazione é immediata (con l'esclusione del gatto).
L'autrice rende con poche parole e disegni adeguati, tutto il travaglio interiore che ci accompagna in una presa di coscienza di quanto sbagliamo attualmente e quanto contribuiamo alla distruzione del nostro pianeta. Nonostante questo, fa anche ridere.

I received from the Publisher a complimentary digital advanced review copy of the book in exchange for a honest review.

They are very humorous and not afraid to point fun at themselves in this green book!
Expressing both the seriousness of why we should be more green (environmentally conscience) and understanding there are steps it can genuinely be hard to stick to, with this author's example, I took some excellent tips from this book and liked how it didn't take guilt trip or shame readers!
