The Better World Shopping Guide

Written by Ellis Jones

OPL BOOK SUMMARY:  The average American spends nearly $22,000 per year on goods and services.  We agree with Ellis Jones: every dollar counts! The Better World Shopping Guide is a handy, pocket-sized comprehensive resource book to help guide our shopping power.  

After years of research, Jones has created this comprehensive resource guide that provides ratings for many of the products you can find on shelves.  There are 72 categories chock full of information, as well as lists of green heroes and corporate villains. The list of products and companies each receive a grade from A+ to F to help consumers be more conscious buyers.

Be a socially- and environmentally-conscious consumer! Buy products that are better for you and the planet, and let your buying power add pressure to companies to act sustainably. 

The Better World Shopping Guide is an excellent printed resource.  But Jones also provides consumers with online resources at betterworldshopper.org.  Check it out!
