Manual verde. Casas más sustentables gastando menos can be translated as “Green Handbook. Spend less on more sustainable homes”. This book was edited by Tomás Errázuriz, designed by Sergio Ramírez, illustrated by Javiera Infante, and published by Ediciones Cosas Maravillosas.

The publisher comments on the book (translated from Spanish):

El Manual Verde aims to be a practical guide to reduce consumption and prolong the life of things in our homes, collecting experiences and actions aimed at a general public. Most of the proposed actions consist of small changes that do not depend on the economy of each household and are not always appreciated for their contribution to the conservation of resources.

Typesetting was made mixing two sans typefaces for display uses: Lira Sans Wide and Rift (an all caps Narrow family), plus the serif typeface Skolar for texts. An important aspect of the layout is the use of the Persona pictograms throughout the book.
