In The Essential Green You!, the third volume in the New York Times bestselling Green This! series, Deirdre Imus shares tips on how to “green” the way you take care of yourself, whether with the food you eat or the clothes you wear, or the cosmetics, toiletries, and hair products you use every single day. Deirdre provides detailed, practical advice that includes:

- How to find everything from organic groceries to nontoxic personal care items
- Toxic ingredients to avoid in the products you use every day

- Where to find clothes that are both environment-friendly and fashionable

- Healthy alternatives to commonly used medications

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Absolutely a must have volume from her Green series
I think that if we all read this book, keeping it on hand until it’s common knowledge, we would be a much healthier and happier society. And the health industry as we know it would change to the benefit of the human race rather then the drug companies that are counting on us to get sick. And the big food manufacturing companies who want us to get hooked on their toxic cancer causing foods. Live long, live healthy is what this book is about. And do it for the same amount of money that you are spending right now when you go to your local grocery store. I personally learned so much, the light bulb went on and I’m now embracing this new lifestyle and loving it. This BOOK is going to be a present that I buy over and again to send to my loved ones, Birthdays, Christmas, Easter, Baby Showers, etc…It’s the gift of life!

1 Star Where do you find the good ingredients? Poorly Indexed
This book was a good idea but poorly indexed. You can find all the bad stuff, names of people and names of diseases, but if you want to find out what vinegar is used for, or baking soda, forget it. This book has the instructions for different cleaning methods and what to use, but they are buried in the book! I was happy to get the info, but disappointed that I had to read all of her politics and stories to get the information. Deirdre, if you read this, please update the index and publish it for free on your website as well as adding it to your book!

5 Stars Wonderful book!
Without being pushy or overwhelming, Dierdre Imus takes readers through a wealth of choices for healthy living. She explains the hazards of choosing food, household and personal care products without first being an informed consumer. In this era of economic belt-tightening and of so many toxins in available products, ignorance is far too costly for all of us.

Ms. Imus has an engaging, personal writing style, as though she is talking to a friend. And she offers lists of the bad choices, giving reasons why they are harmful, as well as lists of better choices in all the areas she covers. And she is thorough! I was glad to find, for example, names of cosmetic companies I hadn’t heard of before who offer beautiful products I will enjoy trying.

The whole book is like that — a fascinating look at the wide and ever-growing group of safe and health-enhancing products that are every bit as good as more familiar commercial products, and are also price competitive.

Interesting to read and invaluable to use as a reference. Highly recommended!

5 Stars Everyone should have this book
Everyone should have this book. It’s easy to read and understand. A great resource book. She include several websites to further your education and helps point you in the right direction.

4 Stars Green with envy
Deidre is full of information about becoming green. I would like to become more green with my food and cosmetics. And this book will tell you how and what to buy to get you started. I can’t wait.

Years ago when someone said you were green, it meant uninformed or not too smart. Green today means quite the opposite. Green is being very informed about what we eat, our environment, and living long healthy lives on a healthy planet.
