We are giving away an E-Book, titled Radical Simplicity, this week. It is offered by EcoBrain. View the review I wrote HERE on EcoBrain.
Here is a synopsis of the book:
Imagine you are first in line at a potluck buffet. The spread includes not just food and water, but all the materials needed for shelter, clothing, healthcare, and education. How do you know how much to take? How much is enough to leave for your neighbors behind you – not just the six billion people, but the wildlife, and the as-yet-unborn?
In the face of looming ecological disaster, 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 that guides the reader to a personal sustainability goal, then offers a process to monitor progress to a lifestyle that is equitable amongst all people, species, and generations. It employs three tools to help readers begin their customized journey to simplicity:
- It builds on steps from Your Money or Your Life so readers can design their own personal economics to save money, get free of debt, and align their work with their values.
- It uses refined tools from Our Ecological Footprint so readers can measure how much nature is needed to supply all they consume and absorb their waste.
-And by advocating time alone in wild nature, it opens readers to another reality with humanity as one species among many on a complex and inter-related planet.
Combining lyrical narrative, compassionate advocacy and absorbing science, Radical Simplicity is a practical, personal answer to 21st century challenges that will appeal as much to Cultural Creatives and students as to spiritual seekers, policy makers and sustainability professionals.

I recycle everything I can and have also stopped buying chemical laden beauty products. I only buy natural products and I make sure to read labels as they like to hide chemicals in there! I also take short showers to conserve water and wash all my laundry in cold water.

I carpool and wash in cold water whenever possible.
I try to find the item with the least disposable packaging, recycle, try to buy green, and always question the necessity of a purchase.
Recycle.
My husband takes the bus to and from school and work. We also recycle all that we can. We have most of our house outfitted with energy efficient light bulbs and just added an additional layer of insulation to our attic.

We always make sure to turn everything off when we are not using it or leave the room.
We dont use plastic bags.
I carpool for everything.
I wash everything in cold water, with only FULL loads. I’ve also started making my own cleaning products that are safe for the environment. I would love to win this book, because Your Money or Your Life is one of my favorite books…it’s quite profound.

The easiest way and most demonstrative way is to recycle. We recycle everything!

I use biodegradable products whenever I can and recyle as much as I can – I turn off the water and the lights at every opportunity and I plant trees and I garden.

We recycle everything we can and have started to reuse grocery bags whenever possible. I don’t use hairspray anymore and buy organic and natural products when I can. We take shorter showers and use cold water if possible.
Thank you for the contest!
