Pets Gone Green gives all kinds of tips and info on living more environmentally-friendly and extending that to our pets, as well. The author impressed me right away, as she sounds very much like me, with regards to having done a lot to try to be more environmentally-friendly, and wanting to find ways to do more, and for her love of animals. I have read a lot about living green and so some of the tips are repeats for me, but it's a nice twist to add some suggestions specific to our pets.

Some of the suggestions are more general and include tips on housecleaning (but focusing on cleaning up after the pets or because of or for the pets), consumerism, trash/recycling, etc. And some ideas are more specific to pets – their food, toys, even adopting a “recycled” pet (adopting from a shelter or rescue), and more. There were some interesting stats included.

There is also a good section at the back of the book with resources listed, so not only websites and books, but also more environmentally-friendly companies that produce pet products.
