What's it like working in a charity shop?Well, first of all there's the customers. In the little shop where I help out there's Greta, who comes in with her carer most days, asks the price of something already clearly marked, then flings it down in indignation and stumps out. There's the father and son who buy up all the best quality shoes we have in stock for sending home to Pakistan to distribute to the poor; and the people who thrust a cash donation into our hands and then rush off to avoid getting thanked. There's Jeremy and his mute mother in her wheelchair; Book Guy, who only ever looks at the books and always comes armed with a dodgy joke; and all our other (mostly) beloved customers who help to keep the shop going.Then there's my fellow volunteers. Young people wanting to add to their CV, older people keeping busy in retirement, and more than a few trying to improve their English as they make a new life for themselves in the UK (like Yeong-Ja, who speaks very good English but can't understand the local accent and has to keep running to me to interpret). We all work together to make money for the charity, sorting through donations, selecting, pricing, steaming clothes and putting them out for sale (then removing them again when they don't sell). Don't get me started on donations, though: sometimes piles of fragrant, neatly folded jumpers, other times bin bags full of armless dolls, food-smeared saucepans and unwashed underwear. These and the many dirty or ragged clothing items we get handed in can't go out for sale, of course. We send unusable textiles and footwear to a recycling centre, which exports them mostly to Africa and Eastern Europe—although even then a lot of it still fails to sell, leaving the various countries with the problem of what to do with it all.This is a diary of two years working in a charity shop, exactly as it happened, with an eye-opening trip to the recycling centre and a few rants and digressions along the way.

Our current path leads to a dead end – but it’s not too late to change course. The first step toward reducing your carbon footprint starts here.There’s an old Cree proverb:“Only when the last tree has been cut down, the last fish been caught, and the last stream poisoned, will we realize we cannot eat money.”This simple yet sobering truth holds a mirror to our society’s unsustainable trajectory. A trajectory that threatens the beauty, diversity, and vitality of our shared home.The consequences of our actions are already unfolding before our eyes – the majestic ice caps slowly giving way to rising temperatures… Once vibrant corals now standing pale and lifeless… wildfires consuming our forests with a fury that matches our own recklessness… and species after species quietly vanishing from existence.And yet, if there’s anything to be learned from the wisdom of the Earth, it's the resilience of life.Isn't it remarkable how life boldly steps up from the ashes, reborn and renewed, every time a forest fire scorches the land?...How the blush of spring always follows the harshness of winter...And how even the bone-dry desert and the icy depths of the ocean teem with life.You see, life, in its wonderful tenacity, always finds a way to press on.We, humans, are no different.History is a testament to our capacity to overcome great feats and achieve amazing things… when we put our collective minds to it.Now is the time to course correct. To pivot from exploitation to restoration, from destruction to regeneration, from short-term profit to long-term sustainability.Because our prosperity, our progress, and our very survival are contingent on a thriving, healthy planet.This book is an invitation to see yourself as a catalyst for change. It's a call to truly belong to this Earth, and care for her as she has cared for you.Inside, here's a fraction of what you’ll discover:The Eco Ripple System – a liberating and empowering method that thrusts you into the driver's seat of changeThe pivotal role of governments in climate change action… use these insights to champion larger-scale solutionsThe hidden sources of greenhouse gases – including a free mobile app that’s taking a staggering toll on Mother NatureSuccessful initiatives by industry leaders that prove profitability can coexist with stewardshipStrategies to leverage your consumer influence to encourage corporate shifts toward eco-friendly practicesThe surprising economic opportunities presented by climate action, and how you can be an active participant in the green economy wave10 actionable steps to tweak your diet for a smaller carbon footprintInspiring stories of individuals who initiated small changes that created powerful ripples of positive impact101 easy-to-implement steps to a greener lifestyle, without completely overhauling your lifeAnd much more.Never underestimate the power of even the tiniest change.Remember, every single drop of water, no matter how small, contributes to the vast and mighty ocean.The same goes for your actions – your contribution matters.When we all come together and make small, positive changes, the collective impact is tremendous.Be the change you want to see.
