Author: Adria Vasil

Adria Vasil is a Canadian environmental journalist known for translating consumer research into practical green-living advice. Ecoholic Body extends the approach of Ecoholic and Ecoholic Home to personal care, clothing, cosmetics, supplements, and other products that regularly touch the body. Vintage Canada published the guide in 2012, drawing on Vasil’s long-running Ecoholic column for NOW magazine. She examines ingredients, marketing claims, and environmental effects while offering product comparisons and household alternatives. The book’s organization from head to toe makes a broad subject usable, and its tone reflects Vasil’s journalistic preference for direct explanations rather than abstract instruction. Her reporting career has also covered environmental news and sustainable business, giving the consumer guidance a wider context of regulation, manufacturing, and corporate responsibility. Ecoholic Body is therefore more than a collection of shopping tips. It shows how Vasil connects everyday choices with larger questions about exposure, waste, greenwashing, and the evidence people need to evaluate claims made about health and sustainability.
