Opis

Now more than ever, we live in a society where we covet new and shiny things. Not only has consumption risen dramatically over the last 60 years, but we are damaging the environment at the same time. That is why buying quality and why Tara Button's Buy Me Once brand has such popular appeal.

Recenzje

'I love the idea behind Buy Me Once' - Ashton Kutcher - actor and activist

'Brilliant Idea' Caitlin Moran - author and journalist

'An excellent new book tackles happiness v consumerism, and how to achieve more of the former with less of the latter. Tara Button's A Life Less Throwaway promises a more contented way of living and rages amusingly against planned obsolescence, fast furniture, weaselly advertising and cunning shop design. It also offers tips on curating and caring for your possessions, as well as ad-blocking.' Katrina Burroughs - The Sunday Times journalist
