Simply Living Well: A Guide to Creating a Natural, Low-Waste Home

Simply Living Well is a resource guide to a low/no-waste lifestyle by Julia Watkins. Released 7th April 2020 by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, it's 288 pages and available in hardcover and ebook formats. It's worth noting that the ebook format has a handy interactive table of contents as well as interactive links. I've really become enamored of ebooks with interactive formats lately.

 This is a very logically arranged and accessible book full of short tutorials and tips gathered by category: low-waste kitchen, natural cleaning, natural wellness, natural bath and body, and kitchen gardening. The author has also included a useful resources and links list for further reading. Each of the larger categories is split into dozens of mini-tutorials and ideas. The photography throughout is clear and clean and harmoniously pleasant.

This book would make a superlative gift for an ecology minded friend/neighbor or a solid addition to the home reference library. It's full of sensible ideas for reducing the family's carbon footprint.

Five stars, a really well made book.
