Abstract:
"Many people feel the need to change their own lifestyles as a tangible way of transforming our unsustainable culture. Radical Simplicity is the first book to guide you toward a personal sustainability goal, and then offer a way to lower your footprint to be more equitable among all people, species, and generations. Using three tools - including steps from Your Money or Your Life and techniques from Our Ecological Footprint - it enables you to customize your own journey to sustainability." "A practical, personal answer to 21st century challenges, Radical Simplicity will appeal to a wide range of people including spiritual seekers, policy makers and sustainability professionals."--BOOK JACKET.
