Green tips - book suggestions

[Libra6Poe]

Hey guys, I'm look for a book recommendation on green tips. My boyfriend and I are avid reducers, reusers, and recylers. And I'd like to get a book for his sister.
But I'm having a hard time finding a book by an author with actual authority and qualifications on the subject.

I've looked at It's Easy Being Green and The Green Book. The Green Book particularly looks like crap, but it may be fun and interesting for his younger sister.

I've emailed two geology professors a couple minutes ago... so we'll see.
How about you guys? Any suggestions?

Thanks!!!

OK, it's not what you asked for but you could have her subscribe to Ideal Bite. Daily tips on how to live greener. I subscribe to this and love it.

And now that I poked around there a bit, I see two pages that lists some recommended books.

Ideal Bite - Books on the Environment - Still hungry for some good summer reading?

Ideal Bite - Cleaning Your Lint Filter - Wanna promote your upcoming vacation?

Mommysavers has a great Simple and Green Living section on their forum. Once you get past the silly name, there's a lot of good information here. So many of the idea/how to books I've looked at were pud. There's several about making your own green cleaners, but that information is available free online..I tend to print out what looks useful and stick it in a 3-ring binder. I have binders all over the house with all kinds of stuff...adding to my clutter, of course:whistling:

Sparky, Abecedarian, thank you for the advice. I'll check out the links. But I really want to give her a book and present it to her as a gift. I'd feel weird giving her print-outs.
But I do like that whole 3-ring binder thing. I should do that for myself.

Can you spell a-d-d-i-c-t-i-n-g? No joke, you'll be a Binder Queen before you know what hit you:lol:
