The Buy Nothing, Get Everything Plan: Discover the Joy of Spending Less, Sharing More, and Living Generously by Liesl Clark, Rebecca Rockefeller
4.0
3.5 stars rounded up. As other reviews mentioned, this was meant to be a reference, not necessarily something you read cover-to-cover. I did read it cover-to-cover and found it to be a bit of an information overload - not the book's fault. I docked stars not for that, but because if you're already reasonably eco-conscious there isn't a lot of new information here. And I feel like this book's audience is largely those who are already recycling, composting, etc. and looking for more.
Plus, the authors kind of lost me toward the end when they encouraged picking up and using stray pens and hair ties you find on the ground in parking lots. Perhaps I'd have been more open-minded had I not read this during a pandemic.
Still, what this book might've lacked in new information for me it made up for in inspiration. This book inspired me to get more involved with the buy nothing groups in my area and to be more conscious about what I buy vs. reuse.
