Opis

Most of us want to make a difference. We donate to charity, buy Fairtrade coffee, or try to cut down on our carbon emissions. Rarely do we know if we're really helping. Confronting this problem, the author shows how, through simple actions, you can improve thousands of lives - including your own.

Recenzje
