About this title

Synopsis

What are the tipping points that encourage people to make significant changes to their behaviour? Here are ten stories of personal enlightenment and the practical changes they made. This book offers simple alternatives to mass-produced, shop-bought, highly packaged goods. People of all ages can develop the skills and courage to make, create and look after what they have, rather than throw away and buy new. Each chapter will show how to make something, with recipes and methods. The reader will be introduced to the idea of making things they’ve probably never even thought of making before (for example toothpaste or sanitary pads). This can be a revelation to and help people feel as if they have more control.The reader will hear about the journey of each of the makers and what made them change their perspective and what they believe in. Tips on how to change our behaviour; saving money; how to cut waste and reduce consumption; Tips on how to ‘repair, reuse, recycle’ and why.
