Shades of Green

A shower is better for the environment than a bath and organic chickens are greener than broilers, right? WRONG; these and a host of other eco 'myths' a shattered in this book. A practical A-Z for the reluctant environmentalist

Nothing in life is black and white, and this goes for being green as well. In Shades of Green, Paul Waddington tackles a range of areas from aeroplanes to wine and outlines different choices, ranking them from ‘deep green’ to ‘not at all green’. This book will show you where you fit on the scale and what you can do to reduce your environmental impact further, whether you are taking your first steps to greening your lifestyle or are already well on your way.

Shades of Green judges the greenness of the different options not just on carbon emissions but also on sustainability and overall impact on the environment. This gives a much more rounded, and sometimes surprising view – for example, being vegetarian is considered greener than being vegan, because we actually need animal waste to boost soil fertility.
