A LIFE STRIPPED BARE, A by Leo Hickman

It is hardly news that a growing number of people want to step back from the brink of western consumerism and find a way to live an all-round cleaner existence - one that is not only easier on the physical body but one that is lighter on the conscience too. So how do we go about it? Most people fight shy of giving up their cars, or their toxic household products, their cheap washing machines, or dodgy, unethical bank accounts in order to make the world a better place but Leo Hickman, resident consumer expert of the "Guardian", reckoned he should give it a try and report back on whether it is possible to live a life that is western but aware. Leo's fumbling but hugely well-intentioned and increasingly successful efforts to do the right thing can't fail to involve, educate, inspire - and amuse - his readers.
Leo Hickman is a journalist, editor and consumer expert at the Guardian. He is the author of How to Buy and A Good Life- The Guide to Ethical Living. He is married to Jane, and has two daughters. They live in South London
