Three-part series offers practical ideas for the reader's home, business and community

BERKELEY, Calif., Nov. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- If members of your community are drawn to goals of living green and saving the planet, but they're having trouble finding practical ways to make it happen, they might want to dig into a new series published by Labyrinth Learning.

In this three-part series entitled the Green Living Series, authors Tracy Garland, Karen Childress and Kristen Javorsky offer detailed tips for conserving energy and water, promoting air and water quality, managing waste, and more.

The first book in the series, Introduction to Green Living, reveals easy-to-implement tips, tricks and techniques for building more sustainable environments. Greening Your Home and Greening Your Business get more specific to home and work environments.

"There's no shortage of publicity surrounding green living and sustainability," said Brian Favro, president and founder of Labyrinth Learning. "But these books are one of the few sources that offer practical advice on how to actually save money and reduce your environmental footprint. They're ideal for programs where learners are looking for fun and accessible ways to make a meaningful move towards sustainability.

"The books are written in a way that everyone can relate to and understand," Favro said. "Readers will find practical advice that they can immediately apply to make a difference in their homes, businesses and communities."

Favro said he expects the books to be popular in community education programs throughout the country. "People understand that green living is not only ecologically sound, it's also a great way to reduce expenses. So, there is great demand for this kind of simplified, practical knowledge," he said. "Community education programs that tap into this emerging demand will find that these books are a great way to increase participation in their programs."

The books can be reviewed and ordered at www.lablearning.com for $14.95 each. Introduction to Green Living and Greening Your Home are available now. Greening Your Business will be available Spring 2010.
