Green is a thoroughly thought-provoking read!

I would never have thought of myself as a “green” or “sustainable” person. As I read Anna Clark’s presentation of a green lifestyle it did occur to me that there is hope for me, yet.

This is not an essay on the evils of global warming, “save the whales,” or other subjects that come to mind when one thinks of environmentalists or green people. Rather, this is a cookbook for a healthy, thoughtful, purposeful, meaningful, and non-wasteful life. It all begins at the most fundamental of levels. What we eat, what we drive, how our home is constructed, eating leftovers, avoiding fast food, going to the farmer’s market, not consuming things we don’t need, and so on.

As I enjoyed these pages, I was reminded of my Sweetheart’s admonition from her own mother “if you don’t stop wasting, you won’t have a pot to . . ., well, fill.

There are several lists here of things to do or think about. You cannot read these lists without stopping to ask yourself “why don’t I do that?” The punchline in every section is both doing what protects our environment (of which we are the stewards for our own descendants) and saving money.

Green is cleverly and expertly written in a conversational tone. I could imagine sitting on a deck by the lake talking to Anna and enjoying sustainable wine discussing any one of these subjects.

To me the take-away is that I should walk to the store, or drive to the farmer’s market, eat leftovers, make coffee at home, live in as little as possible, turn off the lights, adjust the heat and cooling a few degrees, consume nothing I do not actually need, and consume the savings in other forms of healthful indulgence.

Anna Clark is a professional in writing, thinking, and counseling for a better life.

You will enjoy this fine book!
