Description
- Products that don't damage the environment?
- A better way of life without agonising about your 'footprint'?
- To really know your stuff?
Climate change? Biofuels? Nuclear power? Landfills? Recycling? Renewable energy? Environmental issues can feel overwhelming. But in fact it is simple; it all comes down to one thing - stuff.
Our use of the Earth's resources - whether a crisp packet or a cargo ship a T-shirt or a wind turbine - has an inescapable impact on our future. In The Secret Life of Stuff Julie Hill uncovers the origins and the true cost of what we use. Her inventory of over-consumption may shock but it is the first step towards overcoming waste. The misuse of stuff is not your fault it's a product of history. But it is only by understanding what has gone wrong that everyone - politicians business people and us as consumers - can create a new and better material world.
