Download or read book Gifting Green written by Sonja Hakala and published by Full Circle Press. This book was released on 2009-11 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cloth Bags That Are Reusable, Beautiful and Simple to Make Cloth bags of all sorts are now part of our daily lives. We take them to the grocery store, fill them at the mall, tote them on our wrists, and use them again and again. Noting the satisfaction we get when we can wrap our gifts in a special way, author Sonja Hakala has developed an easy method for you to make colorful and unique versions of drawstring bags that are sure to provoke ooohs and aaahs from everyone fortunate enough to receive one. (Or for you to love if you keep it for yourself.) Filled with colorful illustrations and clear instructions, Sonja explains how to make a basic bag with the sewing tools you already have, and fabric that you'll probably find stowed away in your stash or in your scrap pile. Then she adds three different ways to take this basic bag and make it even more special. In 12 easy-to-follow steps, you will cut, fold, fashion, and sew an eco-friendly, reusable, sturdy, and beautiful, fully-lined drawstring bag that reflects your unique taste. Think about it-this way of wrapping a gift will be like no one else's. Henry David Thoreau once said "Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes" and Sonja's philosophy about everything she designs is close to the same. "Those of us who sew, design, and create accumulate all sorts of materials and tools. I set out to use what was at hand when I created these bags so that everyone, no matter their level of expertise, could make them. You can even hand sew them if you like." In addition to adding sparkle to a hostess gift or a present under the tree or as a way to make a birthday or shower gift even more special, these wonderful bags please their recipients throughout the year. Enjoy!

Download or read book Big Green Purse written by Diane Maceachern and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2008-02-28 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Read Diane McEachern's posts on the Penguin Blog. Protecting our environment is one of the biggest issues facing our planet today. But how do we solve a problem that can seem overwhelming-even hopeless? As Diane MacEachern argues in Big Green Purse, the best way to fight the industries that pollute the planet, thereby changing the marketplace forever, is to mobilize the most powerful consumer force in the world-women. MacEachern's message is simple but revolutionary. If women harness the "power of their purse" and intentionally shift their spending money to commodities that have the greatest environmental benefit, they can create a cleaner, greener world. Spirited and informative, this book: - targets twenty commodities-cars, cosmetics, coffee, food, paper products, appliances, cleansers, and more-where women's dollars can make a dramatic difference; - provides easy-to-follow guidelines and lists so women can choose the greenest option regardless of what they're buying, along with recommended companies they should support; - encourages women to spend wisely by explaining what's worth the premium price some green products cost, what's not, and when they shouldn't spend money at all; and - differentiates between products that are actually "green" and those that are simply marketed as "ecofriendly." Whether readers want to start with small changes or are ready to devote the majority of their budget to green products, MacEachern offers concrete and immediate ways that women can take action and make a difference. Empowering and enlightening, Big Green Purse will become the "green shopping bible" for women everywhere who are asking, "What can I do?"

Book Synopsis All You Need Is Less by : Madeleine Somerville
Download or read book All You Need Is Less written by Madeleine Somerville and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-04-21 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most eco-friendly books start with terror-inducing lists of the carcinogenic chemicals you are liberally slathering all over every single surface in your house, painting most people as as unwitting eco-villains, happily Lysol-ing your way straight to hell. Well, readers can just relax and unpack the (plastic) bags – no guilt trips today! At this point I think we all know that cleaning with bleach is bad and pop cans should go into the recycling – we’re beyond that, yes? All You Need is Less is about realistically adopting an eco-friendly lifestyle without either losing your mind from the soul-destroying guilt of using a plastic bag because you forgot your reusable ones in the trunk of your car (again), or becoming a preachy know-it all whom everyone loathes from the tips of her organically-shampooed hair to the toes of her naturally sourced recycled sandals. It’s all gotten kind of complicated, hasn’t it? These days you’re not “green” enough unless you quit your day job and devote your entire life to attaining an entirely carbon neutral lifestyle or throw out all of your possessions and replace them with their new “green” alternatives. This whole eco-friendly thing seems to have devolved into a horrific cycle of guilt, shaming and one-upping, and as a result people are becoming exhausted and getting annoyed and, oh my god, we are living in a world where one of my grocery bags says “This reusable bag makes me better than you.” It doesn’t have to be this way. It is possible to take easy baby-steps towards a more earth-friendly lifestyle without stress, guilt, or judgy eco-shaming. Top eco blogger Madeleine Somerville is here with really original ideas on how to save money and the planet. Her ideas are even fun! Somerville has emerged as the voice of reason on urban homesteading that is stress-free, sanity-based and above all do-able. From the book: Stop Using Disgusting Dryer Sheets Do y'all know that most dryer sheets coat use animal fats to coat your clothes with that 'fresh' fragrance? Yeah. It's disgusting. Switch to wool dryer balls, they're simple to make (plus a fun craft project for kids) and they work like a hot damn. Use Jars Instead of Travel Mugs 1. You can screw on the lid and literally throw a jar full o' coffee into your purse (no more balancing keys, coffee, files etc!) 2. It takes immense resources to manufacture and sell all those plastic/metal travel mugs which are often lost/forgotten You have old food jars hanging around anyway, why not make use of them? If they break or get lost,at least they were used one more time before reaching their final destination. I always get lots of compliments on my coffee jar.
Book Synopsis Aesthetics of the Familiar by : Yuriko Saito
Download or read book Aesthetics of the Familiar written by Yuriko Saito and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-07-04 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yuriko Saito explores the nature and significance of the aesthetic dimensions of people's everyday life. Everyday aesthetics has the recognized value of enriching one's life experiences and sharpening one's attentiveness and sensibility. Saito draws out its broader importance for how we make our worlds, environmentally, morally, as citizens and consumers. Saito urges that we have a social responsibility to encourage cultivation of aesthetic literacy and vigilance against aesthetic manipulation. Yuriko Saito argues that ultimately, everyday aesthetics can be an effective instrument for directing the humanity's collective and cumulative world-making project for the betterment of all its inhabitants. Everyday aesthetics has been seen as a challenge to contemporary Anglo-American aesthetics discourse, which is dominated by the discussion of art and beauty. Saito responds to controversies about the nature, boundary, and status of everyday aesthetics and argues for its legitimacy. She highlights the multi-faceted aesthetic dimensions of everyday life that are not fully accounted for by the commonly-held account of defamiliarizing the familiar.
