Starting as an organic landscaping business in the S.F. Bay Area in 1980, Ellen Sandbeck allowed her knowledge and passion to flow through her pen and is now the author of four books on organic gardening, housekeeping, and most recently greenwashing. After the success of her books Organic Housekeeping and Green Housekeeping, where she offered a multitude of simple solutions to cleaning your home without toxins, Ellen started to notice some not so positive trends in the eco-conscious movement. To this, she answers with her latest book Green Barbarians.
Filled with wit, wisdom, and plenty of creativity, Ellen guides readers through a multitude of tips on how to live a healthy, eco-conscious lifestyle. Inspiring us to lessen our carbon footprint while having fun in the process, Green Barbarians also teaches us how going green can save money.
Ellen spent some time discussing her new book with me and sharing some of the ideas and insights that went into its creation. For more on Ellen, go to www.ellensandbeck.com.
