“I got the Better World Shopping Guide from one of my best friends who, as many people are, we’re both super-concerned about environmental issues; and so she found this for herself and then loved it so much she literally bought 20 copies to give to like everyone she knows.
The Better World Shopping Guide is this small, compact thing that you can fit in your purse or your back pocket even; and it goes into ranking companies and products about issues — the two major issues being environmentally conscious and socially conscious. I just got a kitten, and so when I was shopping for the stuff that I needed to get for her, it was great to have this book, and I could look up different kinds of cat foods and different kinds of cat litter and see what companies do it best.
The information is really well presented. It's really — it's obviously not something you sit and read cover-to-cover. It's just a great resource when you're making some shopping choices. The kind of the main point of the book is that money is power, and when you choose to money, you're making a choice; and if you choose to give your money to a company that treats their employees poorly and doesn't worry about the environment, you're throwing your money away and that you could make these socially conscious, responsible choices to try to spend your money in a way that is good for the planet. I would definitely give this book five out of five stars. I think it is a terrific resource.”
