520 2  "All You Need is Less is about realistically adopting an 
       eco-friendly lifestyle without either losing your mind 
       from the soul-destroying guilt of using a plastic bag 
       because you forgot your reusable ones in the trunk of your
       car (again), or becoming a preachy know-it-all whom 
       everyone loathes from the tips of her organically-
       shampooed hair to the toes of her naturally sourced 
       recycled sandals. It's all gotten kind of complicated, 
       hasn't it? These days you're not 'green' enough unless you
       quit your day job and devote your entire life to attaining
       an entirely carbon neutral lifestyle or throw out all of 
       your possessions and replace them with their new 'green' 
       alternatives. This whole eco-friendly thing seems to have 
       devolved into a horrific cycle of guilt, shaming and one-
       upping, and as a result people are becoming exhausted and 
       getting annoyed and, oh my god, we are living in a world 
       where one of my grocery bags says 'This reusable bag makes
       me better than you.' It doesn't have to be this way. It is
       possible to take easy baby-steps towards a more earth-
       friendly lifestyle without stress, guilt, or judgy eco-
       shaming. Top eco blogger Madeleine Somerville is here with
       really original ideas on how to save money and the planet.
       Her ideas are even fun! Somerville has emerged as the 
       voice of reason on urban homesteading that is stress-free,
       sanity-based and above all do-able"--|cProvided by
