Wouldn’t you like: – Products that don’t damage the environment?- A better way of life without agonising about your ‘footprint’?- To really know your stuff?Climate change? Biofuels? Nuclear power? Landfills? Recycling? Renewable energy? Environmental issues can feel overwhelming. But, in fact, it is simple; it all comes down to one thing – stuff. Our use of the Earth’s resources – whether a crisp packet or a cargo ship, a T-shirt or a wind turbine – has an inescapable impact on our future. In The Secret Life of Stuff, Julie Hill uncovers the origins and the true cost of what we use. Her inventory of over-consumption may shock but it is the first step towards overcoming waste. The misuse of stuff is not your fault, it’s a product of history. But it is only by understanding what has gone wrong, that everyone – politicians, business people and us as consumers – can create a new and better material world.
