I love this book! Anna’s journey to reduce her carbon welly-print is fun and funny, with so much sound, practical advice that it makes you think, yes, we can save the polar bears (and the human race!) Really readable and informative and not at all preachy. Anna just became the Marian Keyes of greener living.

Ever wondered how you can be green with glamour? Or how to make the very best of life and feel virtuous too? How Green Are My Wellies? describes Anna’s efforts to live a life that is both fun and sparkly green. And whether growing vegetables, throwing a clothes-swap party, concocting natural potions, or green speed-dating, she proves that being planet-friendly is surprisingly liberating, enriching, and it may even make you laugh.
Month by month, Anna explores everything from avocado cleansers to guerrilla gardening to worm-racing in order to perfect the art of being green. Here are the tricks to slimming your waste in January; mastering cool camping in July; and celebrating the joy and satisfaction of making things at home as the evenings draw in.
Charged with infectious enthusiasm, her yearbook is full of new ideas, reveals brilliant ‘eco-cheats’ for lazier moments, and demonstrates unequivocally that you can be green with style.

One instantly warms to [Anna's] chatty manner and frank admission that she commits eco sins regularly in her mission to live a more ethical existence . . . there is no doubting her enthusiasm to prove you can be green with style is infectious.

She is practical without being eco-pious, funny without being eco-fundamentalist. Who else would tell you that vegans use condoms made from cocoa powder?

Anna Shepard is no granola-munching hippie. She’s the hip and stylish green girl next door . . . This book will make a great gift for aspiring environmentalists.

As an eco-ignoraumus, I have longed for guidance on how to ward off climate change and save our planet. Anna Shepard's wonderful book provides the answer and has been a complete revelation. With humour, charm and gentle chiding, she really does help us to change our lives. Some of her ideas you will embrace joyfully, others will make you scream with irritation, then probably embrace joyfully at a later date. Anna writes beautifully. Many of her suggestions are so sensible and practical and she never preaches.
Jilly Cooper

Chatty and accessible . . . as easy to dip in and out of as it is to read from cover to cover . . . an informative read that keeps encouraging you to take action whilst keeping it light hearted and fun.
