A practical guide to living more sustainably, built as a collection of achievable changes to your home and habits across a year rather than a single overwhelming overhaul. Jen Chillingsworth writes for people in any home and any job, which is what stops it becoming a book only useful if you already have a big kitchen and spare time.

Key Features
  • Paced across a year. Organised as manageable changes, season by season.
  • What it covers. Making your own cleaning products and cutting out plastic.
  • Written for any home. It works regardless of where you live or what you do.
  • A new edition. An expanded version of the bestselling Live Green, with additional content and lifestyle photography.
  • Format. A 160-page hardback.
Pūrē Standard
  • The same premise as ours: fewer, better changes made steadily. A year of small swaps rather than replacing everything at once, which is the only version of this that anyone sustains. That is why we brought it in.
  • Written for real homes. It assumes a rental or a small flat rather than a big kitchen and spare time, which is rarer in this category than it should be.
  • Paper and board throughout. No plastic jacket, no shrink wrap, nothing to peel off and bin.
  • A book, not a consumable. Nothing in it wears out, and it is the sort that gets lent and handed on rather than thrown away.

Our Take

A year of small changes rather than a weekend of throwing things out, which is the only version of this that ever sticks. Written for people in rentals and small flats.
