The book offers a unique perspective on green living and sustainability
by observing environmentally friendly living throughout the human life
cycle. Starting with natural childbirth, finishing with green burial and
examining all phases of life in between, Hall offers tips and suggestions to
help each of us live a greener lifestyle.
Hall, whose newspaper column on environmental topics, The Culture Artist,
is currently carried by over 50 newspapers nationwide, had this to say about
his upcoming book:
"Does green living matter? I think we should consider the consequences
either way. What if the environmentalists are wrong, and things like global
warming and depletion of natural resources aren't really happening? Well, if
they're wrong, and we take action anyway, the consequences will be a cleaner
environment, better health and more available resources for everyone. But if
the anti-environmentalists are wrong, and we really are running out of
resources and heating up the planet in the process, what are the
consequences if we take no action at all?
"That's why I think green living matters. If the readers of my book
'Green Circles' apply these tips and techniques to their own lifestyles,
things can only get better. It's a win-win situation."
