Simple and effective! September 4, 2007
I bought this book from a charity shop (less than a fiver in the end!) and I found it jam-packed with excellent ideas for helping the world to be a better, friendlier, cleaner, happier place to live in. Some of the suggestions are so simple I doubt I would have thought of them, that's often how it is when things are staring you in the face. Actions from turning the tap of when brushing your teeth, to giving blood, to simply smiling and smiling back. An excellent book and worht more than just a fiver.

The website in connection with this book is www.wearewhatwedo.org. Go see.

Simple things that add up to an excellent attitude. :)

The book has amusing drawings, a pack of seeds to plant to grow your own Christmas trees and a bundle of links and suggestions to help you go green gently and with fun distinctly on the agenda. This book is fluffy but it will make you smile. 8/10.

This is the kind of book that you cannot wait to tell your friends about. Great dinner party conversation fodder! Most of all, a genuine source of information on ways in which you can make significant changes to the world around you very easily, at very little cost. I can't think of a better book to buy a loved one for Christmas.

It’s rare to find a book that gives you a warm glow and a giggle without guilting you into feeling bad. Change the World for a Fiver does all the above with charming illustrations, a wicked little sense of humour and an optimistic belief that if you make the small changes the big ones will follow. In a climate of increasing globalised doom this little book lets you reclaim some of your faith and your conscience by giving you easy-to-do acts. Change the World? Maybe not. But tweak it for the better? Definitely. It’s my stocking filler of choice this year. And at a fiver, great value.
Ps. Buy it direct from their site and they get more of the margin to put back into projects. www.wearewhatwedo.org

This book, although a rather quick read, is an extremely enjoyable one. After reading it i simply had to lend it to my friends so that they could read it. It offers simple suggestions on things to do that can help work towards a better world to live in, from really simple objectives like refusing carrier bags to somewhat larger things such as giving blood. All its suggestions are put forward in an informative and humourous, yet very simple way. It's one of those books that leaves you feeling happy and inspired once you have finished reading it! A definate worthwhile read.
