42. Hey Mr. Green by Bob Schildgen

BOOK REVIEW: Hey Mr. Green by Bob Schildgen

Being a Green Ranger and advocate of environmental awareness, I have now dedicated most of my time to spreading the green word to friends, family and the public. There are just so many ways we can make the message of green awareness propagate through the throngs of Malaysians out there. To enliven the process, I flipped through the pages of this book only to come out with invigorated zest to holler ‘Green is Good’.

For years, Bob Schildgen (aka “Mr. Green”) has been answering real-world questions about green living in his Sierra magazine column. Readers know they’re getting up-to-the-minute, authoritative responses, backed by the research and experience of the Sierra Club.

Now the editors of Sierra have distilled the best of “Hey Mr. Green” into this useful and entertaining book, organized into five chapters:

• ·         “At Home” offers tips on staying cool, cleaning up, and other domestic details.
• ·         “Food for Thought” focuses on how to eat and drink better while spending less.
• ·         “Out and About” covers getting around, fuelling up, and enjoying the great outdoors.
• ·         “The Three Rs” shows you how (and why) to reduce, reuse, and recycle almost everything.
• ·         “The Big Picture” considers how the environment, politics, religion, and other issues intersect.

By reading this indispensable and opinionated book, I feel you just might find answers to lightening your environmental footprint. Go Green Rangers!
