Daily Greenz #127

Ever wish you had a green bible to answer all your green life questions?  Leo Hickman’s newly revised and updated A Good Life aims to give you a little peace of mind by tackling a wide spectrum of questions, ranging from the small (what are my household cleaners doing to my family’s health?) to the big (is it ever acceptable to fly?).  His guide to ethical living attempts to connect the dots between our habits and lifestyles to the impact they have on the environment and offers practical solutions to improving the quality of our lives.  His sidebar layout makes the book an easy read, containing such hard-hitting facts as “driving a 13 MPG SUV instead of the average 22 MPG car for one year wastes more energy than if you left the fridge door open for six years.”  The book’s comprehensive directory is also an attractive feature for the would-be ecoist seeking guidance on specific topics.  Thoughtfully written, A Good Life is a must-read for amateurs and veterans alike.  Available for $17.79 at www.amazon.com.
