There's no reason to sacrifice beauty, because this hardworking visual guide reveals a personalized, future - minded approach to creating a sustainable - and stylish - home by emphasizing conscientious consumerism and climate - aware choices.
In this book, you'll visit a remodeled apartment inspired by the Slow Food movement, a DIY tree - house cabin, a multigenerational courtyard compound, and a family home built from hemp. There are tips on practices that reduce your environmental impact room by room, like adopting a gentler laundry routine, as well as eco-conscious guidelines for choosing nontoxic paint, upgrading windows, and eliminating plastic.
Change begins in the home, and it's inspiring to learn how such steps, no matter how small, contribute to the greater good.
