Thoughts on “Sleeping Naked is Green” by Vanessa Farquharson

It turns out that following someone as they sometimes struggle, sometimes soar through a year of 366 (leap year!) daily green changes can actually be interesting. Here is a pretty average person who makes all these alterations to her lifestyle, things I’ve sometimes thought, “Hey, I should do that” but never actually done. I didn’t run out and sell my car or unplug my fridge, but I kind of felt like if I decided to, the world wouldn’t end. And maybe I’ve been switching to greener cleaning products and trying harder to remember my reusable tote bags when I go shopping.

I even laughed out loud a few times. It’s not particularly profound, but it is certainly honest, and the author has a way with words. Needless to say, I did finish the book, and I enjoyed it!

Next up: The Nanny Diaries by Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus. I realize I’m a bit behind on picking this one up. It’s been on my shelves for quite some time now; I picked it up at a clearance place and never got around to it. It has the same sort of wit and snappiness that I liked about Sleeping Naked is Green. So far, so good!
