Book description
The hilarious true-life tale of one man's journey from self-confessed
planet-killing lad to eco-friendly, green-crusader Dad set against the
backdrop of Cool Britannia, Blair's Britain and the rise of the green movement.
Back in the nineties, Loaded journalist, Pete May was your normal
twenty-something male: a football mad, beer guzzling, Dr Who watching
lad's lad, quite happy surrounding himself with countless pizza boxes,
beer cans and other environmentally unfriendly consumer items. Recycling
to Pete was a debate about whether he should turn his socks inside out
and reuse them.
Then one day, out of nowhere, along came eco bunny Nicola - a greener
than green environmental activist. Could two people so different really
fall for each other? Would Pete ever change his ways and sign up to the
green lifestyle of composting loos, freezing cold houses, multiple
jumper wearing, chicken rearing, recycling, cycling, energy saving and
general self-sufficiency?
This is the charming and funny true-life tale of one man's struggle to
grapple with the good life, go green and get the girl. Pete May is a
journalist who has written for Loaded, The Guardian, Time Out among
others. He currently lives in North London with his wife Nicola Baird of
Save Cash, Save The Planet.
