This is such a comprehensive read - rather, a guide as the title suggests - and really covers all aspects of a sustainable life. Marieke is thoughtful in her approach by making you feel empowered rather than overwhelmed, with the actions we can take on a day to day basis to make sure we live with a more conscious and sustainable outlook. Having personally met and interviewed, Marieke - I can say that this book is a reflection of her personal values and how she lives her life. This book is for all people that are looking to implement sustainability into their lives - and the perfect gift idea, suitable for those both new and familiar to the sustainable living conversation. Marieke's tone is compassionate and understanding, and not at all judgemental or elitist, like other books on sustainable living. A definite must-have for the collection that you'll refer to for years to come. An incredible resource! I'm so glad this book exists and someone spent the time to create it! We so needed this. Thank you for your hard work, Marieke! Love, Nat xx
Five + stars for this amazing book!
It is so much more than a useful guide, it is well written, funny, personal and beautiful to look at. I especially like the straightforward style of the writer, she's very honest and clear about her own choices in life. While reading I get the feeling I've known her for years.
She never tells me what I'm supposed to do, but rather gives options to make the choices that suit my lifestyle. I'm not perfect and will probably never be, and this book aknowledges that. The writer's personal insights, inspiring interviews and sometimes stunning facts and figures just help me to make better decisions. When I'm in a store or go shopping online, I think of this. And if I buy something new now, I appreciate it more.
I recommend it to anyone, male or female, and I know it's going to be my gift for a lot of friends. Birthdays, holidays, any occasion really. Even the price is amazing, with the hard cover, rich information and beautiful design.
So I heartily agree with Katharine Hamnett on the back cover: If you'd like to live better, BUY THIS BOOK.
Excellent and inspiring book! So glad I bought this, would recommend it to everyone.
