This clear and simple guide takes the guesswork out of reading labels and shows readers how to make smart, healthy purchases for their families without spending tedious hours researching the pros and cons of all the available products. Each chapter is broken down into 'Buy It' and 'Do It' sections. The Buy It sections give key information about the purchasing decisions we all face every day. Portable copy-and-clip checklists summarising this information are provided for readers to tuck into a purse or pocket and take with them to refer to as they make their decisions at the store. 'Do It' sections give DIY ideas for how to make things that are good for families and good for the environment. For example, there are some easy sewing projects, like an organic pillowcase. Micaela Preston even shares some of her favorite easy and yummy recipes that are sure to please the whole family. Beautiful photography inspires readers, and fun illustrations go along with the humorous, lighthearted tone of the book.
