National Geographic: True Green Home

The good folks at National Geographic have released a comprehensive book on how to green your home. True Green Home, $14 from Amazon, showcases "100 inspirational ideas for creating a green home," ranging from energy solutions to non-toxic cleaning options, gardening techniques, and more. The tone is optimistic and accessible, rather than the guilt-ridden list of "don’ts" we see all-too-often from green guides. And at $14, it’s worth the investment. True Green Home is authored by Kim Mckay and Jenny Bonnin of Clean Up the World.
