She empowers readers to think about their stuff and the   environment in a new way, helping them make more informed choices when   it comes to the future of our world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Most importantly, this is a   book about the power we have as voters and consumers to make sure that   the fight against climate change includes all of us and all of our   stuff, not just industry groups and politicians. If we have any hope of   solving the problem, we all have to do it together.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"A compelling-and illuminating-look at how our daily habits impact the environment.\"-\u003ci\u003eVanity Fair\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\"Shows how even the smallest decisions can have profound environmental consequences.\"\u003ci\u003e-The New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Hachette Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49349084184880,"sku":"BDd24q","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49349084250416,"sku":"ZEd24q","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/d24q-Square-cover.jpg?v=1776617734","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-d24q","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
