"This book originates in the UK circa. 2007 and was just brought over to American readers 100% as-is, so many of the references and resources are largely useless (.co.uk web sites, where to find quality knickers and how to recycle your old trainers, etc.) A huge turnoff for me is the suggestion early on that it's worth it for gals to save up all their lives to be put on the waiting list for a multi-thousand dollar designer bag because the things really do last forever, when meanwhile, I have hand-me-down t-shirts I've been wearing since 8th grade. They should really hold off on addressing the extreme fashionistas until after, like, page 20.
There are some easy/cool recipes for homemade organic hair/face treatments, which I'll be trying, and some interesting tidbits about the practices of certain "green" companies (Patagonia will recycle your clothes and other items if you send them back). There's a list of clothing companies that make jeans with organic cotton, and they aren't all super-expensive designer: Levi's is on it."
"The author is writing about environmentalism because its trendy. If you say you are an environmentalist and you wear leather you are a HYPOCRITE. According to a 2006 United Nations initiative, the livestock industry is one of the largest contributors to environmental degradation worldwide, and modern practices of raising animals for slaughter contributes on a "massive scale" to air and water pollution, land degradation, climate change, and loss of biodiversity...from the grain it takes to feed them to the excrement that is polluting rivers and oceans to the chemicals used to treat leather... um hello."
