Synopsis
Which should I buy - an organic apple from New Zealand, a fair trade apple from South Africa, or a non-organic apple grown locally? What are household cleaners doing to my family's health? Should I use medicine tested on animals? Who most deserves my charitable donations? How can I make my home more energy efficient? What effects are my holidays having on the places I visit? Was the person who made my shoes fairly paid?
A thoughtful, in-depth yet practical look at what it means to live ethically - fully illustrated, with a directory of contacts and suppliers, A Good Life shows you how to make choices that benefit you, your family and the whole planet.
"... [A Good Life] aims to instill the belief that rather than being passive automatons pushing trolleys mindlessly around the supermarket, we can actually wield incredible power as shoppers and force positive change. It strives to empower and radicalise readers who still hold firm to apathy's mantra 'but what difference can I make?'" (from the introduction)
