Product Description

Back in the nineties, Loaded journalist, Pete May was your normal twenty-something male: a football mad, beer guzzling, Dr Who watching lad's lad, quite happy surrounding himself with countless pizza boxes, beer cans and other environmentally unfriendly consumer items. Recycling to Pete was a debate about whether he should turn his socks inside out and reuse them. Then one day, out of nowhere, along came eco bunny Nicola - a greener than green environmental activist. Could two people so different really fall for each other? Would Pete ever change his ways and sign up to the green lifestyle of composting loos, freezing cold houses, multiple jumper wearing, chicken rearing, recycling, cycling, energy saving and general self-sufficiency? This is the charming and funny true-life tale of one man's struggle to grapple with the good life, go green and get the girl.

Review
Time Out, 12th June "Funny and rather heart-warming."

'Six months ago Pete May thought that 'Carbon Footprint' were a band who did a couple of Peel Sessions. That being said, the lad can write, and all on a pedal powered laptop...' - Phill Jupitus

Roof, May/June 2008
The tale of one man's struggle to embrace the good life and make his house energy efficient.

Andrew Shields in Time Out June 2008
As a rabid West Ham fan and writer for Loaded (as well as former Time Out gossip columnist), May lived the planet-killing laddish lifestyle. Then he met eco-bunny Nicola, who wore a "peculiarly ethnic brown waistcoat covered in reindeers and snowdrop patterns". In telling the story of their relationship, May discovers the hell of compost loos and pokes good-natured fun at the earnest Greens he meets. Funny and rather heart-warming.
