Sleeping Naked is Green: how an eco-cynic unplugged her fridge, sold her car, and found love in 366 days

Genre:
Non-Fiction, Memoir, Canadian, Environmentalism, Social Commentary

Summary:
Join Torontonian and National Post journalist Vanessa Farquharson as she pledges to make one environmentally conscious decision everyday for one year. During her journey she will have to make sacrifices both big (selling her car/unplugging her fridge) and small (sleeping naked/showering in the dark). Throughout the challenge, Farquharson documents her experiences in a blog she names “Green as a Thistle.” Farquharson will discover much about herself, making friends and finding love along the way.

My Thoughts:
Farquharson’s memoir exudes wit, enthusiasm and energy. It was also a pleasure to connect with a locally based writer. Her ironic and humourous tone had me engaged from start to finish. I consider myself a fairly eco-friendly person, but I was surprised to see just how many things can be ‘greened’ in your life!
