This book is all those who recognise that the present course of the 'consumer' society is on a collision course with nature. It describes how to live life in harmony with nature and shows the illogical consequences of this plastic age, and makes one start to reflect, certainly for persons like me, in late 30s/early 40s, who remember a slower and more deeper way of life when we were children. More seriously, it makes one ponder on the source of our milder winters and the concept of pollution/global warming behind it. Further, it shows the way our grandparents used to live and their use of non-synthethic substances for personal needs and emphasises links with disease and mass-produced goods and food.. The book highlights many useful tips on how to minimise the consequences of human action on the enviromment and the morality of bringing food to the West from some of the World's poorest countries. The author has published other books and these are well worth a read.
