"""Kate makes it feel entirely possible to live in a more conscientious way in our busy world"". Alice Zaslavsky, In Praise of Veg ""Just the book to energise us and help us embrace that freedom of living more with less. It's story telling from the heart. We don't need to be perfect at this. We just need to be somewhere on the journey and that's what Kate's book is all about"". Natalie Isaacs, 1 Million Women founder ""This book provides relief through sharing an imperfect, relatable approach to sustainable living. It shows how the average person can make small changes that can have a big impact collectively."" Erin Rhoads, author of Waste Not ""Kate's wisdom works. A dead-set expert, she makes tackling big issues achievable for anyone - starting from where you are right now. Gina McColl, feminist, campaigner, Women's Agency ""Have you ever felt guilty for not being the 'prefect' eco-warrior? I sure have. And that's why Kate's book is an absolute breathe of fresh air. Not only does it remind us that we all share human frailties, but it also extends the hand of friendship and invites the reader to 'live more with less - together.'"" OR ""Kate Luckins skilfully weaves deep knowledge on the subject of sustainable living with science, humour and optimism. She reminds us that perfection is not the goal - it's more important that more of us try, in our imperfect ways, to help the planet, however we can and whenever we can."" Dr Anika Molesworth, author of Our Sunburnt Country ""Second-hand hats-off to the mothers navigating a world of nappies, toys, school lunches and kids b'day parties and trying to do it sustainably. Kate's book will guide you through."" Tamara Dimattina, founder Buy Nothing New & The New Joneses ""A much-needed practical book. Kate teaches us that by taking imperfect action we can all consciously contribute to much needed environmental change"". Georgia Harding, Well Nourished"
