Publisher's Synopsis
'an unpreachy guide [...] free of jargon and full of often surprising information.' The Times
Change starts at home. In the office.
Change starts with you. Your family. Your friends.
Change starts with everyday things.
One object at a time.
Sometimes it can feel overwhelming thinking about all that needs to be done to save our planet.
This book is the antidote to that feeling. Easy to read and easy to do - here's all the information and inspiration you need to make a difference, simply by making smart choices about everyday objects, tasks and habits.
Environmental scientist Dr Tara Shine guides you from room to room and occasion to occasion with environmentally friendly solutions, backed by science. From swapping bottled soap to bars, to replacing cling film with a simple plate, you will reduce your environmental footprint in an instant, while saving money.
This book busts persistent myths and will once and for all show that living sustainably can be both fun and convenient. Besides, it will not only have a positive impact on the environment, but your wellbeing too!
'Dr. Tara Shine is an enlightened big-picture thinker, and with this book she shows that she is equally and delightfully adept at bringing details into focus. This book is all about realising the power you have as an individual by informing yourself, asking questions and making smart choices. By getting becoming active and joining the conversation, you become empowered and you do something about the problem we face rather than feeling powerless in its presence.'
Christiana Figueres, Former Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
