Conscious Style Home: Eco-Friendly
Living for the 21st Century - by Danny Seo
As a leading environmentalist, Seo believes it doesn't take much
time, effort or money to make a difference in the world. It's the
small choices we make everyday-from what we wear to what we furnish
our homes with-that have a tremendous impact. In this gorgeously
illustrated book, Seo describes hundreds of unique, readily available
products and easy projects to help you create a comfortable, elegant
living space without harming the planet.
In Conscious Style Home, Seo transforms his parents' suburban home.
Recycled paint in gorgeous colors brightens the rooms; bamboo blinds
allow plenty of natural light; simple white canvas and hemp slipcovers
give sofas & chairs a face-lift; recycled glass tiles accent
the bathroom; luxurious organic cotton sheets and fluffy comforters
stuffed with EcoSpun (made from recycled bottles) make the bedrooms
a sanctuary.
So, whether you're planning to paint a wall, re-decorate a cluttered
office, plant a garden, re-do the kitchen, or buy a new comforter,
Conscious Style Home is an invaluable resource packed with easy
projects, creative ideas and suggestions for enhancing your living
space, indoors & out.

Slug Bread &
Beheaded Thistles: Techniques for Nontoxic Housekeeping & Gardening
-by Ellen Sandbeck
Many homemakers and gardeners take the easy way out when it comes
to exiling odors and banishing bugs--they use toxic chemicals that
may be harmful to their families and the earth. Ellen Sandbeck has
discovered that the all-natural alternatives are just as easy and
effective to use, and that they are wickedly fun. Sandbeck's way
of banishing thistles from her backyard kingdom is a case in point:
she chops off their heads and lets them bleed to death. Slug Bread
& Beheaded Thistles reveals all of her best tricks. From bedroom
to bathroom, garden to lawn, your home will be clean and green and
pest-free.
Explode cockroaches with baking soda and sugar
Freshen your car with coffee grounds
Keep out slugs with a bread dough that kills
Armor your plants with soap spray
Grow disease-resistant plants by putting sick ones in your compost
pile
Eradicate crayon marks with mayonnaise
Protect your roses with a minefield of garlic

Tiny Game Hunting:
Environmentally Healthy Ways to Trap and Kill the Pests in Your
House & Garden -by Hilary Dole Klein
Every year Americans use a staggering five hundred million pounds
of toxic pesticides in and around their homes, schools, parks, and
roads-a growing health risk for people and the environment. But
are these poisons really necessary? This book, appealing to the
hunter in us all, shows how to triumph in combat with pests without
losing the war to toxic chemicals. Tiny Game Hunting, written in
a lively and entertaining style and illustrated with detailed drawings,
gives more than two hundred tried-and-true ways to control or kill
common household and garden pests without using toxic pesticides.
Newman's Own Organics
Guide to a Good Life -by Nell Newman
essential book for those of us who can’t live in an organic
hemp tepee but do care about our quality of life, global warming,
clean water, and disappearing resources.
Nell Newman shows you how to do what is within easy reach. Along
with realistic, practical advice, she shows how and why living a
more environmentally conscious life benefits you and your immediate
surroundings. In addition to recycling and reusing, the book covers
consumer-related steps such as
• how buying and eating organic food supports small farms
(and tastes better, too)
• how you can buy clean power through your regular power company
• which long-distance telephone companies offer competitive
pricing and service while returning a portion of their profits to
environmental and educational organizations
• where to buy everything—from pots and pans to pet
food—so that you can “vote with your dollar” and
feel good about your purchases
Packed with profiles of fascinating—and sometimes zany—people
and a heavy dose of sanity, this book is organized according to
the way you really live, making it easy to identify what areas of
change are viable for you. A resource directory of publications,
retailers, groups, and associations is included in the back of the
book.
