English Summary/英文概要： It’s Not About Politics.
It’s About Caring—And What Every Family Can Do!

Written by a passionately concerned couple—David Seligman is an active duty U.S. serviceman and Melissa is a devoted stay-at-home mom—this is the first book about going green that won’t scare you with statistics, overwhelm you with science, or make you feel guilty about your SUV. Instead, this indispensable guide will help families everywhere to take simple, practical steps, to lower their energy consumption and help create a healthier planet—and a more sustainable lifestyle.

Simply Green takes a fresh look at every part of your household and every aspect of your life, from what you teach your children to what you put in your laundry machines. Full of energy-saving and money-saving “Green Tips,” Simply Green shows how to:
Use recycled water around your house and garden
Heat and cool your home while you lower your energy bill
Throw away less trash
Make your own, environmentally-friendly cleaning solutions
Lower the power usage of your appliances
Choose indoor houseplants that help purify the air
Make green awareness an active part of your family’s life—and have more fun in the natural world
And much more!

Filled with dozens of useful resources, surprising facts and a long list of options for “going green,” Simply Green is for those of us who may not be able to afford to make huge changes—but can’t not afford to do what we can.

Awards/获奖情况：Married couple and co-writers of Simply Green, David Seligman, an active-duty U.S. serviceman, and his wife, Melissa, a full-time homemaker, examine every aspect of life with tips on how to make adjustments for a more earth-friendly approach to living. Topics include how to teach children about living green, choosing houseplants to help purify the air, and reducing energy use of appliances. The Seligmans offer sound advice and intersteing statistics, such as a recent report from the U.S. Department of Energy nothing that a traditional fireplace with a fire can blow as much as 24,000 cubic feet of air per hour straight outside your house. This means that warm air is traveling out your chimney and is being replaced with cold air.
And for the holidays, one recycling and solid waste management company reveals that if every American family chose to wrap just three gifts in newspaper or magazines rather than wrapping paper during the holidays, it would save enough paper to cover 45,000 football fields.
