Saving the planet for future generations is a laudable aim, but what about the current populace? Why wait when even quite small lifestyle changes can make a big difference now? Green Housekeeping is full of advice and information to help you take a more sustainable path.

Recycling, reusing and shopping at farmers' markets are a good start, but cutting down on poisonous chemicals is just as important, it's perfectly possible to clean a house using nothing more than lemons, bicarbonate of soda, vinegar and plain water. Here, old-fashioned methods are complemented by newer ideas and applied not only to cleaning but also to caring for clothes, furniture, and even silver and glassware. Growing some of your own vegetables, fruit and herbs can be very satisfying, and you can use any extras to make jams, oils and chutneys using the handy tips and recipes inside. There are also beauty preparations and bath oils for soothing, effective treatments that enhance everyday wellbeing. To become eco-friendly doesn't require self-sacrifice, just some readjustment, and following the advice in this invaluable guide will help you live a calmer, greener life. Browse more of our sustainable living titles in our gift ideas for the homebody collection.
