What's News

"Look - it's a bird, it's a plane ... no, it's EcoGirl!"

Eco-information is everywhere, but there's way too much to digest.

The result is that we can feel overwhelmed and thus not take much action at all. We wonder: Where do we start? Is this really important for our everyday lives? What are the most useful actions to take?

Never fear -- Ask EcoGirl is here!

EcoGirl understands -- and comes to the rescue! She does the research for you, pulling together the key information that you need to move into action. She boils it down to the vital essentials -- the most useful, effective, and meaningful ways for you to be part of the solution, while taking also care of your own well-being. Because truly wise information does both!

EcoGirl: Making it easy to be green!

EcoGirl's booklets are a great way for you to get up to speed and take constructive action. They're also a wonderful way for you to share this useful information with the people you care about. What a thoughtful and convenient gift!

"What impresses me is that it is so comprehensive for such a small booklet. Often I see a flyer on one or two topics, but you have packed so much in this. You give the larger principles, how to think of these things, plus simple suggestions that anyone can follow to move themselves forward in the ecological movement -- and feel good about it. You make it appealing to do, not a burden. This small but comprehensive book is a must-have. p.s. Do you have quantity discounts?"

Don Scully, MFT

My goal is to make it easy to understand these key issues and take actions that really make a difference for you, your family, and this planet. It feels great to be part of the solution!
