Praise for The Lazy Environmentalist on a Budget:
“Fun, easy and inexpensive: No I’m not talking about the ideal date — I’m talking about The Lazy Environmentalist on a Budget. Once again Josh Dorfman shows that going green can help you look and feel fantastic, and this time it makes perfect dollars and cents.”
– Summer Rayne Oakes, model-activist and author of Style Naturally: The Savvy Shopping Guide to Sustainable Fashion and Beauty
“Living sustainably doesn’t require slogans or campaigns; it’s about living SMART and this is exactly what Josh presents so clearly in The Lazy Environmentalist on a Budget. A must read for anyone who wants to live well and still reduce their impact on the planet.”
– David de Rothschild, author of The Global Warming Survival Handbook and host of Sundance Channel’s Eco-Trip: The Real Cost of Living
“Josh Dorfman really gets it. Environmentalism is not just for activists anymore. His practical approaches to saving the planet make room in the environmental tent for two very familiar American icons: the crazy-busy and the just-plain-lazy. I say, welcome all! Only together can we change the world.”
– Wood Turner, Executive Director of ClimateCounts.org
The Lazy Environmentalist In The Press:
“You see, he wasn’t brought up sans electricity and red meat by hippie parents, though he jokes about throwing Saturday bake sales as a child in honor of his family’s “cause of the day.” And, OK, there was the time he was kicked off a kibbutz after only a week for organizing a labor protest. But, he also has a solid business background and his environmental epiphany came while he was selling bicycle locks in China…”
- Bookpage
“…a guide to going green without resorting to Birkenstocks and brown rice casserole. Dorfman, who hosts a talk show of the same name on Sirius Satellite Radio, discusses how to integrate eco-friendly products and financial practices into everyday life without going to extremes.”
- Dwell Magazine
“Without condescension or guilt trips Dorfman lays down easy to digest information on how to live a cleaner greener life that isn’t a big pain in the ass.”
- Ecogeek.com
“Speaking of easy ways to be more environmentally minded, I found a ton of great ideas in radio host Josh Dorfman’s new book, The Lazy Environmentalist. It’s an in-depth guide to living more “green” with solutions for the home that are simple, stylish and might actually save me money when I start incorporating them into my lifestyle.”
- iVillage
“Despite the title, there’s nothing lazy or boring about Josh Dorfman’s new tome. The man behind Vivavi and the Modern Green Living directory has succeeded in putting together a comprehensive guide to both fashion- and earth-friendly consumers.”
- Inhabitat.com
“Driving a hybrid car is all well and good, but the truly committed earth friend needs clothes, shoes, furniture, kitchenware and even coffins that are free from environmental sin. And it’s all gotta look good, because what’s the point of saving a dowdy planet? Enter Josh Dorfman, style maven and environmental evangelist, with his book…”
- The Nashville Scene
“Josh is smart and extremely informed on the subject of environmentalism. Don’t be fooled about the “lazy” moniker. There’s nothing lazy to his approach. The way I see it, Josh is bridging the gap between idealism and behavior, finding ways for everyone to live happier, healthier, and more plentifully.”
- Jetson Green
