this book caught my eye at the dollar store no less. since i am looking into being more green in our lives, i had to get it.
she gives lots of info and websites, but she does a huge plug for where her husband works, which just happens to be a green company- shaklee. so she does talk a load about it.
but i have mark some pages to look up some websites, so a score in the end!

The author turned what could have been a good book and helpful resource into an advertisement for Shaklee Products. They may be good but I was so put off by the way she pushed them, because her husband owns the company, that I will be reluctant to try them out.
