A week in the life of a family that uses their fair share of resources / by Asphyxia.

"According to George Monbiot, if those of us in the developed world used 10% of the resources we currently use, we'd not only avert the worst of climate change, but there'd be enough for the developing world to share, and we'd even have some leftover so that our children and grandchildren can inherit a decent world too. I wondered if it is actually possible to live on just 10% of the average amount of resources and still participate in society? We – two adults and one child – set out to discover if it was possible. After eight months of making changes to our lifestyle, we were living on 10% of the average amount of electricity, transportation fuel, and gas, generating 4% of the average amount of rubbish, using 0% of Melbourne's water supply, eating 80% local sustainably produced food, and spending 10% of what the average household spends on consumer goods. This zine is the true story of a week in the life of my family at that time, and shows how we actually made the changes to live like this."--From zinester's etsy.
