From Library Journal

Christensen writes not as a professional environmentalist, but as a mother who wants society to change to a “sustainable way of life.” She is more concerned with adopting a better lifestyle and bringing up children to see how their choices affect the Earth than with research, green consumerism, or having us accept every piece of advice she gives. This is fortunate, since some of her suggestions could prove problematical. For instance, she opposes, though not adamantly, having children inoculated, yet some United States school systems will not admit children without proof of certain vaccinations. Despite some practical problems of this nature, Christensen”s advice is generally down-to-earth, urging people to change their day-to-day living in many small ways. She has consulted experts in reaching her ideas and urges readers to do likewise. Recommended for public libraries.
