Green Chic: Saving the Earth in Style Pages: 240, Edition: 1, Paperback, Sourcebooks, Inc. Brand: Sourcebooks, Inc. Sales rank: 32388 Usually ships in 24 hours Books / Subjects / Business & Investing / Economics / Sustainable Development Customer Ratings & Reviews (most recent first) Average Customer Rating: 4.5 (out of 5) Number Of Ratings: 13 13) News Flash: Chic, Green Living is More Than Fashion and Make-up Despite all of the progress the environmental movement has made, being both chic and sustainable is still often seen as a frivolous combination. Apparently, growing your own food and wearing stylish, eco-friendly fashions are two separate worlds that we shouldn't combine. Not anymore! Impressively experienced writer Christie Matheson just released her 5th book titled Green Chic: Saving The Earth In Style with Illinois-based Sourcebooks publishing company. Even with the ridiculous influx of eco-living books available in stores, it is safe to say that there is nothing like Green Chic on the shelves. Christie explains it best: "It's not about buying your way to being green - or just appearing green - it's about shifting your mindset, changing your attitude, and developing a personal style that is green." This is quite a statement to make in a country of citizens who hate to change their personal habits. But if anyone can get through to the superficial yet sustainably curious masses, it's Christie and Green Chic. Always the thorough writer, Christie personally tried all of her own tips and openly explains the ins and outs of living sustainably and stylish at the same time. Not only is fashion and beauty covered their own chapters, but she also covers: dining, drinking, home, transportation, travel, parties, big and small changes. It wouldn't be much of a green book if it wasn't printed on recycled paper, no? Green Chic's publisher, Sourcebooks, used 100% post-consumer recycled paper certified by the Forest Stewartship Council and vegetable-based inks to print the book. If that wasn't enough, the author herself is donating 50% of her royalties from the book to organizations like the Alliance for Climate Protection, Roots & Shoots, and the Central Park Conservancy among others. Talking about green living without being preachy is a fine line that all of us journalists dance. Christie seems to have found the perfect balance, helping Green Chic to come off as more of a leisurely, informative chat with one of your girlfriends instead of a manual to transform your life. Her accessible writing style is what makes Green Chic one of my all-time favorite green living books - one that I believe will continue to draw in readers for at least the next 5 years. Rating: 4 Submitted: 12/10/2008 12) Great Reference Book I first got this book at the library, I enjoyed it so much I decided to buy it. It's a very good reference book and one I'm sure I will refer back to again and again. I thought the writer was very clever and I love the concept. Rating: 4 Submitted: 11/3/2008 11) Needs more fact-checking I don't have an issue with "saving the earth in style," but I do take issue with Matheson's product recommendations. Some of the products she recommends as "greener" alternatives are not only pricey but have been found to be no better - sometimes even worse - for the environment (at least one "green" product she mentions has been deemed "not recommended" by the Environmental Working Group) than boring old store brands (eg, CVS Sunscreen with Zinc Oxide, SPF 45+ got the green light from EWG). The prose style is no help, either. If you like your eco advice served with wit and style, better check out [...] and their publications. Rating: 3 Submitted: 10/23/2008 10) Great book! This book is a great source which highlights SMALL changes we ALL can make that have a significant IMPACT on our home, our planet! There is so much we can do that is so easy and only a slight alterations to our current lifestyle. GO GREEN! Rating: 5 Submitted: 9/12/2008 9) Must read for those who want to go green without going birkenstocks & granola This book does a terrific job listing simple, practical eco-friendly practices that any household can adopt. Highly recommend! Rating: 5 Submitted: 6/27/2008
