Review

" 'Attractively illustrated with photographs, charts and clear lists of questions and action points, this is the book you need to kick-start a green and guilt-free lifestyle that you enjoy living.' - East Anglian Daily Times Suffolk Magazine"

From the Back Cover

Is it ever acceptable to fly? What are my household cleaners doing to my family's health? Who most deserves my charitable donations? Will offsetting my carbon emissions make a difference? More and more of us want to try to do the right thing. We know that somehow we must reduce our demans on the planet's resources but ethical living is about more than environmental concerns. It is also about achieving positive change by improving our relationships with those around us - be it our friends, family or neighbours, or those we never even met but who make the products we buy.

Leo Hickman's guide to the ethics of everyday life, with its invaluable directory, has already established itself as a bestselling resource for the twenty-first century. Now updated and expanded, it is quite simply a must-have book for all. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
