Nothing's Too Small to Make a Difference is the companion volume to the PBS series, Simple Living with Wanda Urbanska. In chapters covering time, money, work, the environment, child rearing, community life, health and food, and spiritual growth, the authors offer proven, practical advice on how to simplify and improve life. Not idle dreamers but the owners of a small business themselves, not iconoclasts but proud Americans who believe it's possible to work within the system, Urbanska and Levering point the way toward a future in which community, family, and health can reclaim their rightful positions alongside money as the pillars of life.
I so like the title of this book. Knowing it is about simplicity, the title almost says it all. Knowing this couple, the authors, is now divorced puts a bit of a different spin on the book. The type set is really small, which makes the book hard to read, I think. Much of what is written here I've read in other places but with better presentation. This book just didn't do much for me.
a lot of things could not apply- or was already doing - common sense stuff but I did learn that recycling 1 alum. can saves enough power to run a tv for 3 hrs
A joyful read - including many ideas that were new to me, referenced studies & articles in support of the authors' findings, & anecdotes that make you smile. Much to agree with here, recommended.
The book is 10 years old and some of the information is outdated, but if you can look past the granola-crunchiness of the tone, you'll find inspiration to live with less.
