Changing the World

I've just received my very own copy of "Change the World 9 to 5," which is the sequel to "Change the World for a Fiver" by We Are What We Do. If you recall, this is the company behind the idea for the famous Anya Hindmarch "it" bag, which continues to cause quite a stir (see previous post). The book was written by Steve Henry, and designed by Antidote.

Not only is the book adorable, smart, witty AND well-designed, but it has great easy tips for reducing your impact on the earth AND making it a happier place to be. Things such as:

Action 058 - Pull the plug on mobile phone chargers- 95% of the energy used by the charges is wasted because people leave them plugged in. They're only doing their job (charging phones) 5% of the time.

Action 082 - "Aspire not to have more, but to be more" Archbishop Oscar Romero

Action 089 - Ring the IT help desk just to see how they are

I think we could all learn a little something from this book and movement.
