Yoga instructor and environmentalist, Sophie Uliano is passionate about teaching women how to make small changes in their daily routines that can add up to big changes.  She’s quite aware that women, for the most part, do the majority of household shopping and are usually responsible for what clothing, food, skincare & cleaning products are purchased.  As you may have seen on Oprah’s “Green” episode for Earth Day with Julia Roberts (who wrote the forward for her book), she does indeed compost, but she is not a “granola girl” and doesn’t believe one has to be to go green. 

The book’s target audience is not women who don’t wear makeup, who could care less what their hair looks like or those who’s everyday attire is hemp and Birkenstocks.  But no matter if you’re just interested in what all the green fuss is about or if you’re a green purist, you’ll likely find her rating system useful as she rates recommendations from light to dark green (although still do keep reading labels yourself because I don’t agree with 100% of her recommendations, but then again I tend to lean more towards her “dark green” category).   

Since the book’s launch, her Gorgeously Green message has been spreading like wildfire as it resonates loudly with so many women who have embraced the idea that going green does not equal sacrificing luxuries.  The Gorgeously Green forum is a great way to connect with other likeminded individuals who have advice or questions to share.  Check out it, Sophie herself occasionally responds to the inquiries!
