This story is started from my dream that one day my mom would go to the bookstore and instead of choosing a cooking book, she would pick up a book about 3R and Eco-life and bring home. This small book is started from my small project about designing a handbook to instruct housewives recycle. 

On the day I presented about my project and confessed: "I want to see my handbook developed into a real book sold in every bookstore". Someone asked: "When it is in bookstore, do you believe that there are someone buying?". "Yes!", I said but do not have anything to prove my belief.

From that point, I just worked little by little, to prove the necessity of a small green book to instruct people about eco-life in Vietnam. Until the day, one publisher called me: "I want to purchase the copy right of your work and? turn it into a real book". Finally, I am able to prove what I said.

This book named "Small Green Book" and in fact, it is small.

With the size of 10x15 cm, there are 165 eco-tips in this book, categorize into group to be more user-friendly. It is convenient to apply from households to workplaces, including: saving energy, reducing emissions, tips for "Green workplace", Eco-life from very small things like reusing and recycling...

There are tips which are very familiar to Vietnamese like: putting half of lime into fridge to absorb smell, using the mix of lime and vinegar to clean dirty surface, using old CD to prevent crops from birds?

In this small book, green tips do not only cover housework-things but also approach other aspects of life, such as green shopping, household/workplace arrangement? I hope anyone who has this book in hand will find points in this to apply to real life. More important than providing information, this book will remind everyone about the big change will start from the smallest and closest things.
