Editorial Review:
Product DescriptionImagine if your best friend gave you vital information that could protect you and your family, and save you money, and help the planet. Imagine if you were given clear, simple choices, small changes that could have a big impact on your life. And you could still wear leather shoes and deodorant. You'd listen, right?
Well, think of Today show contributor Sloan Barnett as that friend. A mother of three, a dedicated consumer advocate, Sloan gives us a fast, simple, down-toearth primer on the ways our homes are making us sick, and what we can all do to transform them into the safe sanctuaries we want and need them to be.
Sloan exposes the toxic truth behind the household products we use every day -- from laundry detergent to toothpaste to lipstick. She explains how these and other seemingly benign stuff can harm us and our children. She offers an array of alternatives, and inspires us to see that we're never helpless: Every day, we have the power to make better, smarter, safer choices.
Packed with common sense and sass, product picks and practical tips, Green Goes With Everything is for everyone who wants to live a healthier life.

Rating: - The Most Practical and Helpful Green Book
Out of all of the green books that have come across my desk--and as an editor there have been many--this one is my favorite by far. Not cutesy, trendy, or alarmist, it's well-written and practical, and the information is presented in a way that the reader can actually digest and implement.
Rating: - Love this book!
This book is wonderful! It has made me think of how many ways I am harming my family and didn't even realize it! It has many great websites to refer to for additional resources and gets you to change your way of living immediately. I shared it with a bunch of my girlfriends and they love it too!!
Rating: - Well researched, forgot Norwex
Well researched - lots of help for 'going green'. I was sad she did not mention Norwex products, as I think they rank up there with some of the others mentioned, but I still would highly rec. the book.
Rating: - Greatest Guide to A Healthier Home
I've been using green products (Shaklee) way before the word "green" became a popular addition to our vocabulary and yet I still have learned so much more after reading Sloan Barnett's book. She has done so much for us with the amazing amount of research and love that went into writing this treasured book. Everyone should have a copy of this in their home.

Going green is the hot right now. However, living a greener life doesn't have to be a trend; it can be part of your daily routine. That is the premise behind Sloan Barnett's Green Goes with Everything. Her concept is sound, but the book is somewhat lacking in execution.
A large portion of the book seems to be devoted to promoting Shaklee Get Clean products. Barnett's husband is chairman of the company. This seems like a conflict of interest. I do have to give Barnett a bit of credit ... Read More
