 Rating:  - Useful and interestingThis is a really great book - the realistic side of how to be environmental, because although it does talk about stuff such as how to keep your own cows, really it's about things that you can do while living in the city -even in a pokey flat. A lot of the suggestions are really simple, but effective. And there's lots of creativity too, like the games for children. I think that the best thing about this book is that I've actually started using the ideas included - it hasn't just ended up in a corner of the bookshelf looking pretty. And everyone I've showed it to has got something out of it too, even if it's just being inspired to take Spider plants into work to make the air better, or using the diagram that shows you how to darn socks without them falling apart again. Also, don't worry that you might be preached to - this book is pretty laid back on that front, and the style is chatty and funny - but informative too. I recommend this to buy for yourself, but also as a present for someone else as it's full of lovely pictures and photographs. Check out the one with the goat - it's pretty adorable Rating:  - Fantastic for wanna-be greeniesThis book is a fantastic way to ease into a more self-sufficient lifestyle. It has been written in a friendly manner and is really easy to read. Full of easy step-by-step projects and explanations in layman's terms. It makes everything seem so simple, easy and fun. Covering everything from growing herbs in old tires to solar water heating and home-made toys. If you want to be greener but are daunted, then this book is perfect for you. It goes into more detail in places and gives relevant sources to find out more. Once you open it though, it is hard to put it down again. Rating: - Twins Create Green RevolutionAndy and Dave Hamilton, have created an eco friendly revolution with their new book "Self-sufficientish Bible". Not just scrumptious with their easy to follow bites of information on growing veg and being eco-friendly but also "good for you". The Hamilton twins provide support by incorporating a greener way of life to the urban environments the majority of us have to live in. So you don't have a field? Get an allotment or grow Veg in your garden. Keep a couple of free range chickens,or if you can, ducks. Live in a flat? Grow seeds on your windowsill and strawberry plants from a hanging basket. Save on electricity, and lower your fuel/food bills. I am very impressed with this book not only for its wide range of tips but also for the new outlook of city life it has given me.You can be in touch with nature and the environment where ever you live. This is a must read for anyone who wants to create a greener way of life. Andy and Dave prove that playing your part for the environment is much simpler and much more fun than it might first appear.
