How will these resources help you?

With so many people and organisations waking up to the consequences of overconsumption and unsustainable living, now is the perfect time to explore alternative lifestyles and approaches with our students. While people around them may aspire to drive cars and own big homes, young people may choose to prioritise other goals in their lives. Will they be able to live car-free lives in cities where public transport and walking/cycling are viable choices? Will they choose the simplicity of small houses? How could these choices affect their quality of life and the environment? However, we also need to look at these sustainable choices from a critical perspective; is living in a tiny home or a van really a lifestyle choice if people can’t afford anything else? These books, articles and papers look at the exciting potential for small houses and car-free cities and how inequalities are forcing some people to make these ‘choices’.
