Wake Up And Smell The Planet: The Non-Pompous, Non-Preachy Grist Guide to Greening Your Day edited by Brangien Davis and Katharine Wroth is just what you would expect from those crazy kids at Grist Magazine —humorous, topical and full of well-written articles. And like the title says, this green guide will show you how to green your day without the usual dose of shame so normalized in the eco-movement.
The Grist-isms start with the typical morning routine in most North American green homes — with a shade grown organic coffee —and takes the reader on an easy to follow journey which includes walking the family dog with a biodegradable flushable poop scoop bag, going to work by bicycle, enjoying left-overs for lunch, returning home for a meatless gas barbeque, a bit of pesticide-free yard work, and finally to finishing up the day with the eco-vibrator session and falling asleep on organic sheets. Each section is written in the familiar irreverent Grist style, offering plenty of facts to support the transition to greener choices.
Wake Up And Smell The Planet looks a bit different than the other green-guides, sure its still got the familiar proletarian feel but it is well-designed, in a uniquely sized package. The division of information is fresh (sassy even) with the Grist-isms arranged around the average day for the North American every-person.
Of the many “how to green your world” guides out there, Wake Up And Smell The Planet, remains the freshest and most entertaining (without sacrificing the quality) eco-guide book on the market.
