Ethically motivated consumers are a quickly growing market. If more people knew how to go about it simply, clearly, easily, and positively, millions would be living more ethically—and this is the book to show them how. Fully illustrated with a new cover look and lots of new material in response to an ever-increasing range of questions about how we should lead our lives, this edition includes many more of the popular "dilemma" boxes and a fully updated directory of contacts and suppliers.

From the Back Cover:

Is it ever acceptable to fly? What are my household cleaners doing to my family's health? Who most deserves my charitable donations? Will offsetting my carbon emissions make a difference? More and more of us want to try to do the right thing. We know that somehow we must reduce our demans on the planet's resources but ethical living is about more than environmental concerns. It is also about achieving positive change by improving our relationships with those around us - be it our friends, family or neighbours, or those we never even met but who make the products we buy.

Leo Hickman's guide to the ethics of everyday life, with its invaluable directory, has already established itself as a bestselling resource for the twenty-first century. Now updated and expanded, it is quite simply a must-have book for all.
