For my Grandma Bertha
W AY BACK IN 2004, I had this very simple idea for a book that I took to my publisher. I said green living can also be gorgeous living. It doesnt have to mean sacrificing style or convenience or having a wonderful life. Its taking natural livingbeyond straw bale houses and Birkenstock-lined hallwaysup a notch. Its super natural living! Unfortunately, this fantastic, futuristic, this-is-how-were-all-going-to-live idea was met with stares and finally a blunt question: Did I want to write a book about the supernatural life of wizardry, ghosts, and goblins? So, I moved on and never wrote that book.
Flash forward several years, and it doesnt take much to realize that green living is on everyones mind today. You turn on the TV to watch green renovation makeover shows, or flip through a special green issue of a popular magazine or even watch An Inconvenient Truth. Stroll through popular stores like Lowes and JCPenney (where I am their Green Living Partner) and youll find myriad eco-friendly products at everyday low prices. With this flood of green, some might think going eco-friendly is trendy! Its hip! Its cool! And I say I hope its anything but that.
The word trendy scares me because to me it means something thats very en vogue one moment and totally out the next (read: Ugg boots). What I do think is happening is a cultural shift, a seismic move in the way we live and think about everyday living. And I can pinpoint the actual moment our country shifted from naysayer to treehugger: when gas prices hit the roof. When people realized their wasteful habits affected their wallets, everything changed. Hybrids went from concept car to hottest ride. And pretty soon, we started to re-evaluate everything else in our lives to conserve resources and save money, too.
Now with the publication of Beth Greers fantastic book Super Natural Home, not only am I excited for this fabulous guide to living a healthy and green life, but I feel redeemed. I had a hunch several years ago that there were many peoplelike myself and Bethwho felt the world of natural living needed a facelift. This book is what I consider a refresher of what we know and where we need to go to live a greener and healthier life. Sure, we all know that compact fluorescent light bulbs are good for the planet since theyre energy efficient and last up to eight times longer than antiquated incandescent bulbs. But what else should we be doing in our homes that were neglecting or just havent thought about changing? In Super Natural Home, Beth takes you step by step, room by room to make it easy and almost delightful to do.
I get thousands of questions from people who say they feel overwhelmed by the process of going green. So, I always say to start with Just One Thing. Do just one thing each day and over time your actions accumulatively build up to something great and truly impactful. By picking up Beths new book, youre one step closer to doing just one great thing for your home.

T HIS BOOK IS A WORK OF SYNTHESIS , based on the research and insights of many in the fields of food, environmental toxins, and health. In educating myself on these issues, Ive been inspired and enlightened by people like Deepak Chopra, who taught me that the body is a self-healing organism; Michael Pollan, for opening my eyes to how our food is produced, in his 2002 New York Times Magazine article Power Steer, and his subsequent books and articles, which changed the way I eat; Dr. Devra Davis, for her groundbreaking research on cancer and environmental toxins; Eric Schlosser, for the insights I gained from reading his book Fast Food Nation; Dr. Joseph Mercola, for his wealth of knowledge on food and nutrition; Lynne Twist, for her passion for the planet and for sharing her thoughts about shopping with consciousness; Debra Lynn Dadd, consumer advocate, for her pioneering work in the field of nontoxic and natural products; as well as the amazing daily newsfeeds from naturalnews.com and the nonprofit organization Environmental Health Sciences.
A deep debt of gratitude goes to the following people as well:
Jody Weiss, for being my best cheerleader and dear friend, who encouraged me to write my very first newspaper column. Her loving nature, fierce passion for what she does, and intense good will are an inspiration to me and to women everywhere.
Brenda Wade, Heidi Wise, and Karen Leland, for their benevolently beautiful advice and guidance.
Alex Mandossian, marketing guru, for his generous and brilliant coaching.
Eric Harr, humanitarian and professional athlete, for his guidance and amazing contribution.
Bill Zanker, founder of the Learning Annex, for his coaching, encouragement, incredible energy, and enthusiastic support.
Carol Goodman, for her gracious guidance, sensible advice, and generous counsel.
Lynette Evans, editor of the Home Section of the San Francisco Chronicle, who hired me to write columns that sparked the idea for this book.
Jennifer Jerde, who was extremely generous with design advice, and her staff, and for introducing me to Aaron Cruse, who designed my unique and beautiful logo.
Carolyn and Allan Nation, for introducing me to Michael Pollan and for being so supportive of my work.
Warren Farrell, for encouraging me to attend the Book Expo America event, where I connected with Susan Berg at Rodale.
