DESCRIPTION:
Most eco-friendly books start with terror-inducing lists of the carcinogenic chemicals you are liberally slathering all over every single surface in your house, painting most people as unwitting eco-villains, happily Lysol-ing their way straight to hell. It's all gotten kind of complicated, hasn't it? This whole eco-friendly thing seems to have devolved into a horrific cycle of guilt, shaming, and one-upping, and as a result people are becoming exhausted. It is possible to take baby steps toward a more Earth-friendly lifestyle without stress, guilt, or judgmental eco-shaming. Well, listeners can just relax and unpack the (plastic) bags - no guilt trips today! All You Need Is Less is about realistically adopting an eco-friendly lifestyle without either losing your mind from soul-destroying guilt
