The author, a British journalist, decides to make the experiment of trying to live ethically for one year and to reduce the impact of his lifestyle on the environment as far as possible. In his book, he describes how he experiences the experiment with his wife and young baby and all the ups and downs and dilemmas he faces in his new ethical and ecologically correct lifestyle... The book is well written and at times really funny to read (never boring!), and the author also provides a lot of background information, e.g. why certain products and habits harm the environment, and how one can live more ethically and in a more sustainable way without having to abandon one´s former lifestyle. He touches on practically all areas of daily life where one has to make ethical decisions. e.g. shopping for groceries, travel, cleaning the house, caring for his baby, renovating his house, shopping, etc. and gives simple tips on how one can modify one´s habits or what one could do. The book also includes many letters he received from the readers of his internet-blog he wrote during that year, which are also very interesting and often funny. A really good and informative book for everyone interested in an ecological, ethical and sustainable lifestyle!!
