The Naturally Clean Home, by Karyn Siegel-Maier

First to recommend

Description

I love reading about what kinds of cleaners can be made from natural products. After all, before chemicals were synthesized - people still had to clean right? The smells are probably better and you'll definitely be able to breathe better. Yay.

Eco Nest Book

First to recommend

Description

This book and the concepts behind it are pretty sweet. I actually want it of when I consider (and can afford) building my green dream home. In short, the idea behind an econest is to live/build in a similar manner to a bird building it's nest - using materials at hand and the perfect size (no bigger than necessary).

Good Green Kitchens Book

Another green home book - specifically for the kitchen. If you think about it, the kitchen is the place where the green stuff going in your body really takes center stage. And everything your food touches also goes in your body, so why not make your kitchen green so you're safe all around?
