Overall, I thought that “Live More With Less: Upgrade your life without costing the Earth” by Dr. Kate Luckins was a fairly nice read. It was filled with a multitude of good, reasonable “medium green” tips and advice on how to lead a more sustainable lifestyle, albeit a bit repetitive in some places. I particularly enjoyed the visuals such as the “Buyerarchy” and sustainable lifestyle umbrella - though I wish that there was more of them!

How will I upgrade my own life after reading this book? as a start - critically reconsidering consumption decisions and the companies we support + recycling/reusing items, clothes, containers etc.

Encouraging introductory guide for anyone who wants to reduce clutter and consumerism in their life (without having to give up mod cons entirely and move off-grid in pursuit of a 'perfect' sustainable lifestyle!)

‘It’s confusing when the sustainable-seeming solutions don’t add up to the ecological gains as they should. Choosing between multiple imperfect scenarios can feel overwhelming.’
