Handy Girl’s Guide
An advocate of conscious consumerism and environmental sustainability, Handy Girl helps us regain power over our possession-cluttered, time-starved lives. She prompts us to walk to work, turn our old clothes into this year’s fashions, refurbish our homes with treasures from the trash and to buy a share of a local farmer’s crop.
In a world where many of us never learn to change a tire, sew a button, or make a meal from scratch, Handy Girl guides us through the hectic bulging aisles of life’s supermarket. Whether it’s avoiding genetically modified food, finding a planet-friendly mode of transportation, making socially responsible investments or using personal-care products free of damaging chemicals, Handy Girl brings ingenuity, humour and down-to-earth practicality to every situation.
