Once upon a time there was an oh-so-not-tech savvy mom who still owned a 2002 Nokia phone with nothing more than calling and text messaging capability. Then, in an effort to inspire women around the world, she started something called The EcoMom Alliance and lo and behold, a year and a half later she is learning all about Technorati, Facebook, widgets and more. Yes, that mom is me and I still own that phone, despite regular complaints that I am unavailable due to my archaic personal communication system, (so I’m not yet “twittering”) but I’m doing my best to be a part of the technologically hip and cool. Still, it was a lovely surprise to receive Christina Strutt’s new book, A Guide To Green Housekeeping. In this age of all things fast and efficient, her writing, and the whimsical photos, make even the dirtiest of jobs sound well, just lovely. Perhaps it is her British manner that shines throughout, the book is part call to action, part how-to and most certainly a visual treat that harkens back to a time when one took pride in the laundry and such. For all of these reasons, as well as the educational aspect of course, I just loved Strutt’s book.
