Confessions of an Eco-shopper: the true story of one woman's mission to go green Book

Locally produced pesticides or far-flung organic? Cheap whole chicken or two organic drumsticks? The kitchen roll that soaks up spills or the recycled stuff that dissolves? What can one really do to make a difference? Does it involve huge sacrifices? Is it a lot of extra work? Is it more expensive? Two years ago Kate Lock set herself a series of eco challenges to find out the answers to these questions. This book charts the story of how she and her family adjusted. Grittily realistic about the ups and downs of living in a more eco-friendly style, and never predictable (Does organic food always taste better?), she nevertheless manages to combine the practical with the inspirational—and after reading this book, you won't shop in quite the same way again. Packed full of great tips, this book takes the reader through a set of personal green challenges and explains how to make a difference while staying sane.
