» Book Review: Hey Mr. Green: Sierra Magazine's Answer Guy Tackles Your Toughest Green Living Questions, by Bob Schildgen.

Hey Mr. Green: Sierra Magazine's Answer Guy Tackles Your Toughest Green Living Questions is a compilation of questions and answers from Bob Schildgen's popular column for Sierra Magazine. In it, he answers questions sent in by Sierra Club members about how to green their lifestyle.

Arranged in 5 sections - At Home, Food for Thought, Out and About (transportation), The Three Rs (reduce, reuses, recycle), and The Big Picture (the environment, politics, and religion) - the book reproduces the column's question and answer format, making it easy to dip into. Many of the questions are very thoughtful, and the answers are entertainingly written and seem to be very well researched. Followup questions are frequently included, providing a more nuanced discussion of the issues involved in each individual choice.

It's an easy, non-threatening read, probably most useful and inspirational for people with an interest in greening their lives but little motivation to research their questions themselves.

This book was provided for review from the publisher.
