48 Things to Know About Sustainable Living: Book Review

Everyone is gearing up for the New Year, considering the changes they would like to make, how to improve themselves, and possibly the world.

Well Victoria Klein has just published "48 Things to Know About Sustainability," a book that will help you take on the new year, and the world!

OK, seriously, most people aren't ready to take on the world, but that's the beauty of 48 Things. You can pick your topic and start with one thing at a time. Or, pick one topic a week, and having 48, you can have a 4 week vacation.

There are three things I really like about 48 Things: 1) Victoria covers everything about sustainability, she really hits all the topics; 2) Victoria lists resources in every chapter, so further investigation is easy; 3) but mostly, what I like about 48 Things is that it's inspired from Victoria's own personal experience. She is passionate about her topic and it shows.

What else will you find that's good in 48 Things? A lot. Victoria shows you how living a sustainable life is also good for your health and your wallet - things everyone can appreciate.

I would recommend 48 Things to Know About Sustainable Living for anyone and everyone. It is a good read, a great gift, and perfect to start off the new year right!
