HOW GOOD ARE YOU?
Clean Living in a Dirty World
From the back cover:-
'A landmark investigation of Australia's ethical track record.
Climate change is wreaking havoc. Water shortages are a permanent fixture. Our landfill sites are overflowing. The nuclear debate is getting nasty. Every few weeks a new story about the horrors of battery hens hits the headlines. Sometimes so much seems to be going wrong that it's hard to know how to do the right thing.
When we seem to be living in the worst of all possible worlds, who is actually doing something to make it a better place? And how good are you, personally?
Thankfully, there are ways of finding out how to shop, invest and eat ethically - you just need to know where to look. In this lively, witty and important book, Julian Lee takes us on a whistle-stop tour of the main stakeholders in the drive for better living in Australia, from organic farmers and fast-food franchises to ethical investors and fair-trade gurus. He explains how to separate the fraudsters from the ethical firebrands, applies new standards to his own life and shows how every one of us can do the same.
