`This is a book equally fascinating for professionals and non-professionals with an interest in sustainable development. For non-professionals, it contains clear jargon-free information about sustainable products. For professionals it provides an "at a glance" reference tool and a wealth of detailed information on "green alternatives'. Journal of Architectural Conservation July 2001
`It is easy to read, straightforward and accessible, with a plethora of "never knew that" facts that draw one into the subject.
