Media Reviews
As an eco-ignoraumus, I have longed for guidance on how to ward off climate change and save our planet. Anna Shepard's wonderful book provides the answer and has been a complete revelation. With humour, charm and gentle chiding, she really does help us to change our lives. Some of her ideas you will embrace joyfully, others will make you scream with irritation, then probably embrace joyfully at a later date. Anna writes beautifully. Many of her suggestions are so sensible and practical and she never preaches. * Jilly Cooper *
I love this book! Anna's journey to reduce her carbon welly-print is fun and funny, with so much sound, practical advice that it makes you think, yes, we can save the polar bears (and the human race!) Really readable and informative and not at all preachy. Anna just became the Marian Keyes of greener living. * JO FAIRLEY, co-founder, Green & Black's *
She is practical without being eco-pious, funny without being eco-fundamentalist. Who else would tell you that vegans use condoms made from cocoa powder? * The Times *
One instantly warms to [Anna's] chatty manner and frank admission that she commits eco sins regularly in her mission to live a more ethical existence . . . there is no doubting her enthusiasm to prove you can be green with style is infectious. * Marie Claire - BUY OF THE DAY *
Chatty and accessible . . . as easy to dip in and out of as it is to read from cover to cover . . . an informative read that keeps encouraging you to take action whilst keeping it light hearted and fun. * www.treehugger.com *
