You're there.You have the family, the house, the yard, the car, the job that requires a commute.Given the way that a lot of us live, it can be very useful to have a check-list -- to do a walk-around of home and garden and see the latest thinking on how to minimize our impact on the environment.As someone who has been following these issues for years, I found it interesting that the evidence on some things seems to argue for different choices -- and that I had been way off on my thinking in other specifics.It's a pleasurable read -- theretro photos remind me that the suburbanization of America was rooted in a more innocent time, when few people had the foresight to see its results.What is beyond the scope of the book, but the more important question, is how we get to the point where we are creating not 20% less damage but 50% or even no damage at all -- and those are the "tough questions" that this book just does not ask.Click Here to see more reviews about: The Organic Suburbanite : An Environmentally Friendly Way to Live the American Dream (Paperback)
