Guide Review - Simply Green Parties by Danny Seo
The world needs more people like Danny Seo. Adopting a philosophy of conservation from a very young age, he obviously lives the lifestyle and shows us abundantly how to replicate it ourselves. Whether it's using broken shards of terra cotta pots as cheese tags, garden rocks as place cards, or twizzler candies as straws, he brings a fresh approach to entertaining. The projects are easy to follow, and the materials are readily accessible. The illustrating photos create a warm, relaxed feeling in the book, and Seo's text persuasively argues for following this conscientious lifestyle. You can't help but feel it's good to be green.
