Easy to use guide. I gave away 5 as gifts. Small enough to have in your purse or pocket when you want to make a conscious decision on buying from companies that do a better job of improving the way we live. It does not have everything I shop for but it proved to be helpful. The A-F grading of companies is helpful and the book has links to doing more research if you are interested.

Anyone who is working on being a better consumer with a social conscience will benefit from this very helpful book. After I read and used it, I gave copies to three friends. Two of them now take the book shopping with them as they try to make better purchasing choices.

"The Better World Shopping Guide" should be on everyone's desk who is in charge of drawing up shopping lists for their families. It is a terrific resource which enables us to be better, more knowledgeable consumers whose purchases make the least negative impact on our world. An updated version would be even more helpful.
Everybody should own this book! January 29, 2008

I'll start off by saying that this is the most important book I own. I thought that I was being a good citizen to the environment by recycling everything, buying organic produce, etc. I had no idea how off the mark I was until I picked up this book. It is, to say the least, an eye-opener.
I carry it in my purse at all times, and, with it's grading system, it is very user friendly. One of the things that blew me away was the fact that almost 40% of all chocolate produced in the world is done using child slave labor! For that reason alone you should know who scored a "D" or "F." Not only does it list brands of foods you should avoid, but retail stores, electronics, clothing, gas, and the list goes on.
Usually I don't go on about books, or anything else I buy here, but this book is a huge exception for me. I honestly believe if we were all more conscience of the products we purchased, and where we purchased them from, this world would be a lot better place. If I could afford it I would buy a copy of this book for everyone I know.
