The Australian Green Consumer Guide

 

At a time when every second ad or product you come across claims to be environmentally-friendly, Tanya Ha shows how to sort the green from the greenwash, vote with your dollar and make choices we all can live with.

 

Designed to offer practical, accessible information on everything from how to read labels to the ecological impact of certain products, this book is a must-have in every home, office and organisation.

 

Whether you’re shopping for food or fashion, cars or cleaning products, The Australian Green Consumer Guide is an essential, non-judgmental guide to making more ecologically sound choices. This book will help you identify products that truly reflect your values, whatever your shade of green.

 

Cosmetics, paper, appliances, home heating and cooling, manchester, baby goods, garden products, DIY, home energy and more - The Australian Green Consumer Guide covers it all. Read it to see how better consumer choices can help to reduce your ecological footprint, make your home a healthier place to live, avoid animal testing and other animal welfare impacts, or simply save energy, water and money.

 

The Australian Green Consumer Guide was published by UNSW Press in 2007 (RRP $29.95).
