Planet Home Provides Tips for Green Homes {Book Review}


By The Local Cook (Visit website)




If you’re looking to green your home, you might want to check out the book Planet Home: Conscious Choices for Cleaning and Greening the World You Care About Most by Jeffrey Hollender (cofounder of Seventh Generation). It includes hundreds of practical tips for any budget!


At first I was a bit wary, thinking maybe it would be a thinly veiled marketing shtick for Seventh Generation products. Surprisingly, it includes information on how to make your OWN cleaning products!


It’s very readable, with lots of checklists and helpful hints divided into the following sections:



cleaning products and chemicals: your essential guide
the kitchen
food
the bedroom
the nursery and kids’ rooms
the family rooms: living room, dining room, media room, and den
the bathroom
the utility rooms: attic, garage, mudroom, and basement
the laundry room
the home office
the big picture

It also includes an ingredients guide, list of resources, references, and an index. I like how it doesn’t just tell you how to clean things, but also what issues you need to consider in each area of your home and what products are more green than others. There’s even information in the “bedroom” section on how to purchase greener sex toys, and how to recycle old ones!


The Verdict: Overall, I give this book 5 out of 5 stars. Whether you are making your first baby steps toward becoming more green or are a pro, there are ideas that you can use right away.
