Description

This pack includes 2 handy guides, 1 - Green Guide Book on Water Conservation and 1 - Green Guide Book on Composting published by Chelsea Green. Green Guide Book on Water Conservation: 100 simple and effective tips for saving water, inside and outdoors of your home or business. Packed with practical ideas for your kitchen, bath, landscaping, and water using chores. Did you know? We use 127% more water today than we did in 1950, about 95% of water delivered to our houses goes down the drain, a garden hose can use almost as much water in an hour as an average family of four uses in one day. Our population is growing, our climate changing and our lifestyles demand more and more water – we are consuming too much! But there are many things we can do to reduce our consumption of water, save money and help the environment. This book gives you 100 water saving tips for the home and garden – from simple things like having a shower instead of a bath, to more drastic measures like installing a rainwater harvesting system. If each one of us does just one of them, we can help reduce the likelihood of water shortages both now and in the future. About the Author: Jon Clift has a Masters degree in Sustainable Environmental Management. He works as a freelance environmental consultant. Green Guide Book on Composting: This book is a full-color guide for both beginners and experienced composters, with an A–Z reference section. Composting is fun, easy and very satisfying! You can make compost even if you live in an apartment or don’t have access to a garden. There are lots of good reasons to make compost: A third to two-thirds of the average garbage can contents can be composted, so you can lighten your bin—and stop it smelling. Less organic material is sent to landfill, so less noxious liquids and greenhouse gases—especially methane—are produced. Composting saves you money—you won’t need to buy any more peat-based compost! This book will give you all the information you need for successful composting. . About the Author: Nicky Scott is a former Chairman of the Community Composting Network and is the Coordinator of the Devon Community Composting Network. He has helped in the development of the “Scotty’s Hot Box” and the “RiDan” composter, both now widely used for composting food waste. Nicky Scott lives in England.Printed on 100% postconsumer recycled paper, processed chlorine-free.
