Ingrid Newkirk "Making Kind Choices"

As consumers, we make choices, large and small, every day -- what to eat, what kind of clothes to buy, what kind of furniture we want. Smart consumers can use those decisions to improve the planet, says our guest today on THE BOOKCAST. Ingrid Newkirk is president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. But her book Making Kind Choices is not limited to doing kind things for animals, although that is a key part of the book. It's about making choices that will be environmentally aware, and earth-friendly.
