Product Description
"Josh Dorfman s perspective is a leading voice for anyone involved in new consumer-based environmentalism. Tom Arnold, TerraPass
We can t all camp out in old-growth forests, lying down in front of the bulldozers. And it s not only that we re too busy: Some of us just don t want our fabulous threads to get caked with mud.
But that doesn t mean we don t care passionately about the environment. Luckily, the days when becoming environmentally aware entailed eating bread that tasted like dirt, wearing clothes that looked like frayed burlap sacks, and spending summer vacations assailing whaling ships with Greenpeace are passing away. It is now perfectly possible (and increasingly easy) to be well fed, well coiffed, well dressed, and well traveled while remaining deeply committed to an ecologically sustainable lifestyle.
In The Lazy Environmentalist, Josh Dorfman host of the Sirius Satellite Radio program of the same name provides comprehensive guidance to fashion-forward consumers who are as concerned about the long-term health of our planet as they are about the design of their bathroom fixtures. Covering topics that range from clothing to electronic gadgetry, home decor to recreation, and gardening to financial investment, Dorfman lets us know which trends to watch and which eco-conscious products cars, toothbrushes, cell phones, pet accessories to buy. Green, it turns out, can be an extremely stylish color.
"Every day most of us have to choose between products that either look the same or do the same thing. So why not buy the product that causes the least harm to the planet? The Lazy Environmentalist is a useful guide toward making the right decisions."
- Yvon Chouinard, founder and owner, Patagonia, Inc.
"Everything you always wanted to know about greener living but were afraid to spend the rest of your life researching. Here's a great start."
- Chris Paine, writer and director, Who Killed the Electric Car?
Instead of thinking about it ... DO IT. Buy this amazing book and get the scoop on products and ways to take care of this great planet. Become part of the movement that is loving the earth the way it truly deserves to be cared for!
-Mariel Hemingway, actress and author of Healthy Living from the Inside Out

 The Lazy Consumerist July 24, 2008

The cover and description of this book makes it sound like it details easy and painless ways to be more environmentally friendly, or possibly a book telling you how certain things you think are environmentally friendly really aren't. In reality, it is an advertisement for companies that bill themselves as "green." All it does is list companies in different categories that bill themselves as environmentally friendly. If you are interested enough in the environment to pick up this book, you probably already know about a lot of them. You can find everything this book tells you for free on the internet if you are interested in making a purchase in one of these categories. But even easier (and lazier) is to just not buy this stuff in the first place. Don't waste your money on this book- just think of the trees you'll save!

One of the few environment frienldy-go green books that I am actually hanging onto. Great resources listed for the consumer from clothing, to energy sources, to food. Compact, easy to read, and makes going green doable.

The average person needs to feel empowered to make change at their level. Let's face it, most people don't write letters to their politicians or participate in local debates about the environment (more people should do this). The reality is many of us are caught up in the race of raising children, paying bills, etc. I like how this book empowers the average citizen to make better choices. If we all think that our minor impact is unimportant, then we are taking a few steps back. Who cares if being green is trendy? I rather have it become trendy than unpopular like it was 35 years ago (reserved for only hippies). The important thing is that the trend begins a wave of change around the planet as to how we see the resources that are available to us and how we can best use them. Great Job Josh!

This book has compiled so many wonderful resources and information for any type of "green living". If you want to build, add solar panels, clean or eat green this is the one book that has it all. I refer to it as the green dictionary and use if as a source of info all the time.
