She is practical without being eco-pious, funny without being eco-fundamentalist. Who else would tell you that vegans use condoms made from cocoa powder?

As an eco-ignoraumus, I have longed for guidance on how to ward off climate change and save our planet. Anna Shepard's wonderful book provides the answer and has been a complete revelation. With humour, charm and gentle chiding, she really does help us to change our lives. Some of her ideas you will embrace joyfully, others will make you scream with irritation, then probably embrace joyfully at a later date. Anna writes beautifully. Many of her suggestions are so sensible and practical and she never preaches.
