We do still read books at Eco Trend Spotter, it not just computer screens. That’s why we want to share this book “How Green are My Wellies: Small Steps and Giant Leaps to Green Living with Style” by Anna Shepard which is a guide to ethical living written especially for women everywhere. It tackles the issues of ethical clothes shopping and how to keep the glamour while going green.

Being seen while being green

How Green Are My Wellies? documents Anna Shepard’s journey to a green lifestyle over a year. Month by month she details each of her new forays into getting ethical and environmental. She explores everything from avocado cleansers to guerilla gardening to worm-racing.

Each chapter contains tips on issues such as how to reduce waste, making things at home, camping holidays, and style. How Green Are My Wellies? is an enthusiastic and uplifting book in which one woman proves you can make a difference, and have fun doing it, while still looking great. The yearbook is packed with amusing anecdotes and ‘eco-cheats’. It makes the perfect gift for the woman in your life who wants to be a little bit greener.
