typedtruths 's review for:
How to Save the World For Free
by Natalie Fee
quick thoughts:
• a well-structured, easy-to-read guide for people just looking into the topic for the first time
• i did learn a bit and liked some of the more unconventional chapters, like about banking
• but there was so much general, abstract advice with no practical steps mentioned, so i could actually go out and make these changes without a lot of further research... which kind of defeats the point imo??
• (she did provide links and further reading & watch lists at the back though, so we'd at least know where to start)
• idk but maybe a book literally about saving the environment for free shouldn't have its advice centre around 'buy this instead of this'
• yay for having a gender-neutral section about periods, boo for using gendered language for everything else
• similarly boo for the allonormativity and ableism
• you literally mentioned that straws are essential items for many disabled people in the same breath you recommend everyone should switch to paper, metal or glass straws
