Like The Omnivore's Dilemma, this inventory of how we consume stuff is a wake-up call - shocking but inspiring.
Julie Hill has 25 years environmental experience, including working with governments, businesses, the environmental think-tank Green Alliance, the Environmental Agency and the award-winning Eden Project. She counts her experiences as parent, consumer and citizen to be just as relevant to The Secret Life of Stuff as those generated by being a life-long environmentalist.
Hill is refreshingly, defiantly optimistic... The more you read
this book, the more you come to realise that the future she
describes isn't the pie-in-the-sky environmentalist wish-fulfilment
fantasy it first appears - it's within our grasp
*Scotsman*
Worldly but erudite... Enlightening
*Independent*
Instead of piling doom and gloom onto the shoulders of readers,
Julie Hill outlines a positive plan for a world spring clean...the
result makes fascinating reading
