<h3>True Green Life 200 ideas to make your life greener in every way</h3>
 <p>200 ideas to make your life greener in every way is the fifth book in the True Green series written by environmental campaigners and authors, Kim McKay and Jenny Bonnin.<br /><br /> On the 13th of February this year, one of their early books, True Green Kids 100 things you can do to save the planet won the prestigious award for Best Hands on Science Book in the United States, presented by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Co-autho Kim McKay said "the award was recognition of the need for simple communication which empowers people to take positive action about the environment."<br /><br />"True Green Life is the culmination of our four previous books and has been the opportunity to weave the concept of living a True Green Life into the fabric of our daily activities in a practical and simple way," said Kim.<br /><br />The 200 tips in their new book cover everything from travel, celebrations, activites and enjoyment through to home, healthy, finance and family.<br /><br />"It's important that people know they can make a difference and that it's easy to change their behaviour- we've got to combat 'green fatigue' with cost-saving and easy changes and True Green Life provides these," she said.<br /><br />Ian Kiernan AO, chairman and co-founder of Clean Up Australia challenges us to just tru five of the points in True Green Life to change our behaviour and help reduce Australia's carbon footprint.<br /><br />Some great ideas include:</p>
 <li>Actively reduce holiday paperwork- a paperless holiday? Forget collecting a bundle of brochures from your travel agent. Use the vast resources of the internet.</li>
 <li>Mark important events and start a family tradition by plating a tree for special occasions- the birth of a child, the loss of a loved one, weddings or even divorces!</li>
 <li>Buy second hand and vintage clothes and shoes- beside food, clothes shopping has the highest environmental impact of all consumer activities. About 150,000 litres of water is used in the production and transport of new clothes bought by the average Australian household every year.</li>
