By making a few simple changes to our homes and lifestyles, Caroline Harris shows that going green doesn't have to be difficult or expensive.

With a wealth of helpful green tips, she follows a traditional approach that is fun, creative and might even save you some cash. From advice on energy etiquette, home-grown vegetables to the forgotten skills of sewing and making marmalade, this guide feels like having a friend to hand in your kitchen. It's perfect for anyone who is daunted by the choices we need to make to live a more sustainable life.
