We verbruiken de hulpbronnen van de aarde tot vijf keer sneller dan ze kunnen regenereren. En ondanks onze inspanningen om ons verbruik te 'vergroenen' zien we nog geen daling van de wereldwijde koolstofemissies. Ons consumeergedrag is daar in grote mate debet aan. In dit inspirerende en verrassend optimistische boek onderzoekt journalist J.B. MacKinnon wat er zou gebeuren als we zouden stoppen met winkelen. Is er een manier om onze consumptie terug te brengen zonder een economische ineenstorting te veroorzaken? Op zoek naar antwoorden sprak hij tal van experts, waaronder economen, klimaatwetenschappers en CEO’s van bedrijven, en reisde hij de hele wereld over: van Amerika’s megastores via de jagers-verzamelaarsculturen van Namibië tot gemeenschappen in Ecuador die 100% duurzaam consumeren. Dit boek toont aan hoeveel we te winnen hebben bij consuminderen: fysiek en emotioneel welzijn, gezonde relaties met onze natuurlijke omgeving en met elkaar, aandachtige zorg voor onze bezittingen. Terwijl hij dit boek schreef, werd zijn gedachte-experiment deels werkelijkheid door het coronavirus.

One of the great pleasures of staying in a hotel is spending time in a spotless, neat, and organized space that you don't have to clean. That doesn't, however, mean the work disappears-when we're not looking, someone else is doing it. With Housekeeping by Design, David Brody introduces us to those people-the housekeepers whose labor keeps the rooms clean and the guests happy. Through unprecedented access to staff at several hotels, Brody shows us just how much work goes on behind the scenes-and how much management goes out of its way to make sure that labor stays hidden. We see the incredible amount of hard physical work that is involved in cleaning and preparing a room, how spaces, furniture, and other objects are designed to facilitate a smooth flow of hidden labor, and, crucially, how that design could be improved for workers and management alike if front-line staff were involved in the design process. After reading this fascinating exposé of the ways hotels work-or don't for housekeepers-one thing is certain: checking in will never be the same again.
