Not all of us can move to a greener house, or remodel our existing home to be greener.  But with this guide, you won't have to.  This excellent resource shows you how to live greener even if your house is a "not-so-green" house.  It presents simple ideas you can do right away (known as "low hanging fruit" in the book) to more advanced moves you can make after careful planning (known as "more advanced steps").

For example, on how to conserve water in your home: low hanging fruit includes catching rainwater for your garden, and installing low-flow devices to shower heads and faucets. More advanced steps include replacing inefficient appliances with efficient ones, and reusing water by installing a grey water system.
