This book is an analysis of the wasteful North American lifestyle. It looks at both reducing the amount of waste we generate and at simplifying our lives – the two go hand-in-hand. It is an interesting read. For someone who has never…

Very informative, and full of fun solutions to lessen the waste in your life from kitchen to bathroom, to wardrobe and work space. Almost all grounds are covered. But what this book is lacking is pictures and/or diagrams, that I think…
