Gorgeously Green
One of my favorite things about summer is all of the time I have to read. During the school year I do not have time (or the brain power) to read “fun books” (basically anything a teacher did not assign to me). Two of my favorite do it yourself sustainability/environmental books are Sophia Uliano’s Gorgeously Green and Do It Gorgeously.

Even if you do not like to read, these books have great recipes for homemade cleaners, personal care products, and food. It also gives advice for chemicals to avoid and suggestions for other sustainable practices. For those who do like to read, these are quick and interesting. My family bought them used from amazon.com, and we use them as references for recipes and other tips.
