No one likes listening to smug hippies bragging about how they
don't use toilet paper, or worse yet, lecturing about the evils of
plastic bags and SUVs. But most of us do want to lessen our
ecological footprint. With this in mind, Farquharson takes on the
intense personal challenge of making one green change to her
lifestyle every single day for a year to ultimately figure out
what's doable and what's too hardcore. Vanessa goes to the extremes
of selling her car, unplugging the fridge, and washing her hair
with vinegar, but she also does easy things like switching to an
all-natural lip balm. All the while, she is forced to reflect on
what it truly means to be green. Whether confronting her
environmental hypocrisy or figuring out the best place in her
living room for a compost bin full of worms and rotting cabbage,
Vanessa writes about her foray into the green world with
self-deprecating, humorous, and accessible insight. This isn't a
how-to book of tips, it's not about being eco-chic; it's an honest
look at what happens when an average girl throws herself into the
murkiest depths of the green movement.
