'We have a beautiful natural environment in Australia, but we're also among the most resource-consuming people in the world. This book, with its practical advice and tips, helps people actively reduce their personal impact on the environment.'-Bob Brown
'The great value of Greeniology is in the plethora of very easy alternatives that it presents, combined with an empowering emphasis on our ability to make choices.' - JAS (Journal of Australian Studies) Review of Books
'This book should be a slightly numbing account of how you can be more environmentally conscious, but instead it is very appealing. Simple things count like saving water, recycling and smart buying. It all adds up to saving money as well as helping the planet. Short, snappy tips and explanations help keep the pages turning.' Daily Telegraph
