Reviews: Green Circles
What the critics are saying about the book...

"What does it really take to be the green-generation of the future? The sustainable-generation? These are the cues that Chuck Hall gets the chance to reflect upon inside this book, the kind of thing, everyone interested in sustainable living needs to know for a more productive future.
"Green Circles: A Sustainable Journey from the Cradle to the Grave, by Chuck Hall, metaphorically illustrates what it could mean to future generations if we begin to rely now on the children of today, through teaching and learning for a better, brighter, tomorrow!" -Sustainable Times

"Chuck Hall shows how altering a wastefully consumerist lifestyle is practical, whether you live in an “intentional community” in a rural area or make your home in a suburb or big city. "Green Circles" is very readable and should deserve wide circulation." -David M. Kinchen, Huntington News 

"Scarcely does a day go by that the citizen does not read a column, see a film, hear a politician talking about "Green" issues. Ecological matters are hot in the news! There is so much literature available on the topic of Green, Ecology, Sustainable Living, that one wonders where to start upgrading our information on such matters. Here is an excellent little book that provides a simply expressed, highly readable overview of Green topics. It adopts an approach that I would call "broad-lensed", but provides ample references for more detailed analysis of the major issues of Sustainable Living.
The book is written by Chuck Hall of South Carolina and is called Green Circles: A Sustainable Journey From The Cradle To The Grave. Chuck writes not from a lofty intellectual perch, but as a hands-on guy who walks the path of which he speaks!
This includes a time in his life when like Walden, he retreated to a small shelter in the woods where he lived on a very intimate basis with the natural surroundings of an Appalachian Forest.
Unique to this book is a vision of the manifold possibilities of living more sustainably through all the stages of human existence.
The Chapter headings indicate the scope of his vision:

Spirituality (broadly understood)
Nature and Well-being
Natural Childbirth
Raising Green Children
Green Colleges
Green Weddings
Green Transportation
Green Building & Sustainable -Architecture
Green energy
Living Without Electricity
Green Gardening & Vegetarianism
Green Clothing
Intentional Communities
The Rainbow Family
Green Burial
A Sustainable Future

"As well as the breadth of his vision, what I really appreciate about this book is the obvious and sincere passion with which Chuck presents his understandings of a topic which is important to every one of us. I heartily recommend this book!
I got my copy through Amazon, but you can also order directly from Chuck at his website which is www.cultureartist.org."
