The New Green Consumer Guide, will be published in May 2007 by Simon & Schuster. It's jam packed with information on how to be green - explaining which products, which brands and which companies are getting it right - and which are getting it wrong.  It's personal, anecdotal, easy to read and some of the advice isn't what you'd expect.  Find out:

  • why biofuels may be doing more harm than good
  • how to choose the greenest car
  • why plastic bags are better than paper
  • how 'green' detergents may not be best 
  • how to invest for climate change 
  • why clothes are too cheap 
  • what funeral would be greenest
