Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
In celebration of Earth Day's 25th anniversary comes this revised edition of MacEachern's popular environmental how-to.
Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.
From Library Journal
The Sierra Club's Michael McCloskey, in the introduction to this book, says that MacEachern "pulls the whole picture together as no one has ever done." This is only partially true. She does cover a wide range of environmentally protective actions in home, garden, garage, supermarket, school, office, community, apartment, and on vacation, but some of her checklists' effectiveness are not clear. MacEachern gives insufficient detail on several points (e.g., energy-saving tree planting around houses); accepts some solutions with little exploration (e.g., banning foam packaging); and ignores how solutions conflict or overlap. Buy this book now, but hope for better. See also John Elkington & others' The Green Consumer , reviewed in this issue, above.--Ed.

Save Our Planet
Great information and tips. Well organized.
Somewhat Useful, But also Out-dated and Junk Science
The author lists many useful (but obvious) items in protecting Earth (insularting your home, recycling, etc). Starts off talking about how Earth is in "peril" and might not be around in 10 years. Well, its been over 10 years and the doomsday scenarios haven't happened. That's what happens when you rely on emotional crusaders instead of reason and science. And we have also found that humans have little - if anything - to to with ozone depletion (don't hear much about anymore) or global warming. Since this book was written we pretty much banned CFC use and evil corporate giant McDonalds doesn't make the anti-Earth packaging this book talks about. So read with caution, read with a critical mind.
