I read this book again for the third time this holiday and drooled once again over the patterns. I think that I need to update my rating.

Less information than Knit Green. It has knitting projects and intermixed guest pieces. One person said they didn't vaccinate their sheep.

The essays about environmentally conscious aspects of knitting were great- I almost wish that had been the whole book. None of the patterns were particularly interesting to me, possibly because none of them would actually be flattering on me, or possibly anyone over, say, a size 6 or 8 (I didn't check sizing to see how large they were going because well, they were all very boxy and looked like they'd be a pain in the neck to modify).

There are a ton of cute projects in this book, well written, charts as needed. Some cables, some lace, some basic, some more complex. The yarns used are all "green" yarns, like Eco Wool (yarn is neither dyed nor chemically processed) or Schulana Sojabama (bamboo & soya, a fiber from soybeans, that is similar to silk in feel).
There's smaller projects, like Sustainable Bamboo Scarf & Soap Nut Vessels (a little bag to throw your soap nuts into). There's wearables, like Organic Sprout tank, which uses Classic Elite Sprout yarn (organic cotton), or the classically styled All (North) American Hoodie, using St Denis Nordique wool yarn (a yarn grown, harvested, processed, & distributed all in North America).
