]]> newgreenestbook.JPGGreen, Greener, Greenest by Lori Bongiorno looks pretty cool. I haven’t read it yet, but plan to.

It covers topics and then tells you the best way to make a green, greener, or the greenest choice. Example from Amazon:
Green: Drive the speed limit
Greener: Drive a fuel-efficient car
Greenest: Bike or walk

Of course ideas are hopefully more thought out than the above example. This sounds like a good entry level tree hugger book because it’s not asking you to make major changes all at once, instead you can choose a green level that’s comfortable for you. Maybe work your way up. Hopefully, I’ll grab this book soon and do a longer review. Until then, RiverWired has a longer review up you can take a look at.

]]> If you’re a kid (or parent) looking for some good reading material then do I have a resource for you. Planetpals, one of the best eco-kid websites around has a very cool Best Ever Planetpals Earth book list. And believe me, it really is the best earth-friendly book list ever for kids. It’s super jam packed with carefully selected books that emphasize treating our planet well.

If you’d rather read changing earth-friendly content for kids on a monthly basis, then check out the Planetpals Earthzine. It’s new each month, so you can bookmark and check in each month for new topics related to saving the planet.
