This title written by Fred Pearce is subtitled tracking down the source of my stuff. It relates his many adventures trying to find where different things in his household come from. Ranging broadly from the gold in his wedding ring to various foods he eats, he sets out to find out where things come from and what their impact on the environment is.
The book relates a lot of startling information which is presented in a look and see what you think manner. Pearce refrains from preaching or putting forth a green agenda. He presents facts and various conclusions that can be made from them and leaves it to the reader to decide on action. He examines the human toll that products take as well as the envirnmental toll and makes comparisons that are sometimes surprising.
If you are thinking about eco consciosness and looking for a source of information that goes beyond todays headlines this might be a book for you.
