Description
The guide covers how we spend our time and money in all life’s aspects, from the food we eat to the homes we live in.
We can feel powerless in a world that is worsening for the 89% who want more climate action and justice.
However, there are four skills, that help us regain control over our lives.
These four skills help us understand our world better, imagine a better world and what it will take to get the future we want.
The starting point of this book is you, us as individuals.
We love and grieve and by being radically honest we change the world.
To change the world, for the better, also requires facts and understanding of Earth, our home.
Common to us all is the time we have on earth, and for nearly all, the money we make, spend and save.
That’s what this book is about: how we choose to spend our time, what we want to protect, and how we want to live.
It’s a guide that provides information, facts, context and some knowledge to take better decisions about lifestyle, food, water, money, energy, clothes, transportation, home,consumption, society, nature and grassroots movements.
