The Sustainable Home by Christine Liu

Live simply, sustainably and responsibly. Think about your impact on earth and how you can make your footprint delicate rather than a big stomp. I didn’t learn anything new but did enjoy seeing how this author has incorporated some ideas that will allow less waste and better utilization of the earth’s abundance.

Topics included:
* Living: minimalism, energy, furniture and indoor plants
* Kitchen: sustainable foods, plant-based foods, food waste, cooking equipment and techniques
* Bedroom: closets, repair * repurpose clothing, sustainable sleep
* Bathroom: toothpaste, body care, haircare, water waste, cleaning materials
Outdoor: greening the workplace, dining out, going places, taking action

Some ideas discussed and questions to ask yourself:
* do you need it?
* can you buy something used?
* can you fix it?
* can you repurpose it?
* can you purchase from a sustainable company instead?
* decluttering
* how to decrease waste produced
* what to use instead of toilet paper, plastic, etc
* making cleaning products, body-care items and other items at home

Some interesting tidbits that would be interesting to try to incorporate into my life though it might not be easy where I live – not sure I can do many if any here in Lebanon but will give some a try.

Thank you to Quarto Publishing-White Lion Publishing for the ARC – This is my honest review.
