2008-01-24 Vast generalisation & unsubstantiated claims

I am rehabbing several properties & thought this book might lend a few practical tips on greener options. As someone who tries to do their part & stay current with sustainable living practices- I found this book makes vast generalisations about everything from GM products to organic growing to fashion-with no footnotes & siting no sources for their claims. After reading several chapters & finding numerous "facts" that I know are out dated & incorrect I found it difficult to appreciate or trust any of the information offered in this book. There are definitely better reads on this topic.
