<p><em>In the modern world, our main goal is often to accumulate material wealth, making us work hard to achieve commodities while isolating ourselves from our mind and our surroundings. In this race for material wealth, we often explore our external world but not our internal world. We do not realise what we need and do not need, what our main purpose in life is and how we can lead a &#39;balanced life&#39;.</em></p>

<p>Have you ever wondered how you can maintain your current lifestyle, but not exhaust our planet&#39;s resources? In modern times, many of us have environmental knowledge but we lack an understanding of how to apply that knowledge to our everyday lives. Bridging this gap is what has motivated ecological economist Dr Kamaljit K. Sangha to write this book. Dr Sangha examines how people can make a difference to the environment by proposing little actions at the household scale that can contribute towards saving our planet.</p>

<p>This book examines how to:</p>

<p>1. minimise the gap between scientific knowledge and public awareness,<br />
2. reduce the impact of our actions on our natural environment,<br />
3. maintain our earth&#39;s natural resources,<br />
4. be happier and healthier by recognising our reliance on Mother Nature and re-establishing our connections with nature.</p>

<p>Dr Sangha believes there are a few, very easy steps that everyone - whether they reside in the city or the country - can take to save money, their mental and physical health, and ultimately our planet.</p>
