Confessions of an Eco-Sinner

Like many people, I'm imperfectly eco-friendly, constantly considering green(er) living options. One important green(er) living shift is to be more conscious of what you consume. That's why I love the book Confessions of an Eco-Sinner: Tracking Down the Sources of My Stuff.

The author's eyeopening account takes him on a global journey to not only find the sources of his stuff. He also explores "the human, economic, and ecological impacts of our Western lifestyle." Like many of us, Pearce is an "eco-sinner". On his quest, Pearce tracks down the "Kenyans who grow and harvest his Fair Trade coffee" to the "women in the Bangladeshi sweat shops who sew his jeans".
