Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The first step to fridge love is to appreciate the gift of modern refrigeration. We have the infrastructure and technology to make the healthiest foods possible, and we take this for granted. #2 Refrigeration is only about 150 years old. Before that, drying, smoking, salting, slathering foods with honey, pickling, and fermenting were the predominant ways to preserve food. #3 The first icehouses and refrigeration were in desert civilizations, where getting your hands on some chilled wine or a cool breeze on a stifling day was largely reserved for royalty and the wealthiest citizens. By the early 1800s, American businessmen were jumping into the budding natural ice business. #4 The first fridges were huge, hulking machines that required trained technicians to operate. They contained chemicals known to be poisonous, and tended to spontaneously explode. It would take over one hundred years of experimenting to find the right combination of gas and machinery.

No one likes listening to smug hippies bragging about how they don't use toilet paper, or worse yet, lecturing about the evils of plastic bags and SUVs. But most of us do want to lessen our ecological footprint. With this in mind, Farquharson takes on the intense personal challenge of making one green change to her lifestyle every single day for a year to ultimately figure out what's doable and what's too hardcore. Vanessa goes to the extremes of selling her car, unplugging the fridge, and washing her hair with vinegar, but she also does easy things like switching to an all-natural lip balm. All the while, she is forced to reflect on what it truly means to be green. Whether confronting her environmental hypocrisy or figuring out the best place in her living room for a compost bin full of worms and rotting cabbage, Vanessa writes about her foray into the green world with self-deprecating, humorous, and accessible insight. This isn't a how-to book of tips, it's not about being eco-chic; it's an honest look at what happens when an average girl throws herself into the murkiest depths of the green movement. Reviews “A humorous, self-deprecating tale of the crazy things that happen to normal people when they take the green plunge. Vanessa Farquharson will have you wanting to try your own experiments, too, because she shows how easy some of these planet-saving changes can be.” —Alisa Smith, co-author of The 100-Mile Diet: A Year of Local Eating “By spending a year putting the planet’s needs as a top priority, Vanessa Farquharson’s search for love and connection leads her to happiness she never thought she could know. An entertaining approach to ‘greenlightenment,’ Sleeping Naked Is Green will surely inspire other skeptics to find their inner environmentalist.” —Gillian Deacon, author of Green for Life “One step a day doesn't seem like much, but over the course of a whole year it adds up to a world of difference. This isn't just a well-written and fun book about going green, it is about watching a personal transformation. Being inspired was never so entertaining.” —Lloyd Alter, TreeHugger.com
