Book Number: 51106
St. Martin's Press September 19, 2001 4to hardcover in d/w. 192pp very good. Editorial ReviewsnnFrom BooklistnDid the environmentally conscious movement fade away in the millennium? Not according to Seo, who ascribes his pro-eco stance to an Earth Day birthday. Believe it or not, Seo talked--or conned--his parents into redoing their suburban home in an Earth-friendly manner. That means an uncluttered house, free of trash and unwanted items, and recycled paint, old-fashioned linoleum floors, and wood such as tanoak and heart maple, which are produced by responsible logging. It means kitchen countertops that welcome organic produce. Room by room, he examines the good, the bad, and the 63 hazardous products in every home, warning against formaldehyde, PVC, and other noxious substances while providing complete tips, lists, and in-depth profiles of certain organic manufacturers. Other advice includes using stones, leaves, and beach-found objects in place of expensive decorative accessories.
