简介：　　No one likes listening to smug hippies bragging about how theydon't use toilet paper, or worse yet, lecturing about the evils ofplastic bags and SUVs. But most of us do want to lessen ourecological footprint. With this in mind, Farquharson takes on theintense personal challenge of making one green change to herlifestyle every single day for a year to ultimately figure outwhat's doable and what's too hardcore. Vanessa goes to the extremesof selling her car, unplugging the fridge, and washing her hairwith vinegar, but she also does easy things like switching to anall-natural lip balm. All the while, she is forced to reflect onwhat it truly means to be green. Whether confronting herenvironmental hypocrisy or figuring out the best place in herliving room for a compost bin full of worms and rotting cabbage,Vanessa writes about her foray into the green world withself-deprecating, humorous, and accessible insight. This isn't ahow-to book of tips, it's not about being eco-chic; it's an honestlook at what happens when an average girl throws herself into themurkiest depths of the green movement.
