From the Inside Flap:

THE ORGANIC SUBURBANITE

Suburban living can get complicated: You want your yard to look good. You want your kids to be safe. You want your bathtub to sparkle. You want to keep the air and water clean. You want to live the American dream. And you want to do the right thing.

Author Warren Schultz pokes gentle fun at the traditions of suburbia, while helping us discover a host of earth-friendly alternatives. You can have a great-looking landscape without toxic pesticides. You can have a clean tub without harsh cleansers. You can feel good about the food your family eats and the grass your kids play on. You can know that the choices you make are good for you, for your family, for the environment, and for the future.

Let The Organic Suburbanite be your guide to healthier, more environmentally responsible habits in all areas of your home--from laundry and bath to garage and garden. Make the choices that can make a difference. The Organic Suburbanite can show you how.
