    <body><![CDATA[This book originates in the UK circa. 2007 and was just brought over to American readers 100% as-is, so many of the references and resources are largely useless (.co.uk web sites, where to find quality knickers and how to recycle your old trainers, etc.)  A huge turnoff for me is the suggestion early on that it's worth it for gals to save up all their lives to be put on the waiting list for a multi-thousand dollar designer bag because the things really do last forever, when meanwhile, I have hand-me-down t-shirts I've been wearing since 8th grade.  They should really hold off on addressing the extreme fashionistas until after, like, page 20.<br/><br/>There are some easy/cool recipes for homemade organic hair/face treatments, which I'll be trying, and some interesting tidbits about the practices of certain &quot;green&quot; companies (Patagonia will recycle your clothes and other items if you send them back).  There's a list of clothing companies that make jeans with organic cotton, and they aren't all super-expensive designer: Levi's is on it.]]></body>
