I love Ashlees honest and fun writing style. Its so refreshing to read the truth about topics people like to pretend dont exist. Big fan!

Daniella Monet, actress and activist

Become the superstar human you kind of knew you were but needed guidance on becoming read this book and you (and the whole, wide world) will be better for it.

Kathy Freston, New York Times bestselling author of The Lean, Veganist, and Clean Protein

Saving the world can seem like a pretty daunting feat without a guidebook to start you on the right path. This is that book. Ashlee Piper gives you all the inspiration, information, and instruction you need to make those small changes that can have a huge impact.

Annie Shannon, bestselling author of Betty Goes Vegan and Mastering the Art of Vegan Cooking

A smart, quick, useful, and, yes, hilariously profane guide to living in ways that will make the world a far better place. Who knew being good could be so much fun?

Suzy Welch, New York Times bestselling author of 10-10-10 and co-author of The Real-Life MBA

Give a Sh*t is like having every savvy article on going greenfrom how to properly recycle to tips on creating a non-toxic beauty routineall in one place. Its the perfect dose of eco-guidance for anyone craving real, no-BS advice.

Greta Eagan, author of Wear No Evil: How to Change the World with Your Wardrobe

This is the guide well-intentioned-but-overwhelmed people have been waiting for. Thoughtful, funny, and utterly practical.

Natalie Slater, author of Bake and Destroy: Good Food for Bad Vegans

Ashlee makes a strong case that its not so hard to give a shit. She makes it chic to be eco-friendly for a new generation of consumers who dont want to choose between efficacy and sustainability. This book is so on point!

Leila Janah, CEO and founder, Samasource and LXMI and author of Give Work: Reversing Poverty One Job at a Time

Ashlee Piper is a maven of consciousness, a conduit to kindness, and a green glamazon of the highest order. She preaches the ethos Ive been espousing for decades: you can look like a fox and still be truly good to the planet and all its inhabitants. This is a book all sustainable-curious, committed plant-eaters, and green fashionistas should have handy.

Chlo Jo Davis, founder/editor of GirlieGirlArmy

Fun, friendly, and girl-powered (but dishing out the skinny on some serious stuff), this book will chat its way into your heart and, more importantly, into your choices. Pipers plan for saving animals and the planet also has you spiffing your style and living to the fullest.

Victoria Moran, author of Main Street Vegan and Living a Charmed Life

Ashlee makes it easy to give a shit. This book is a simple, modern conversation with simple actionable plans to live by and really make a difference. None of us can afford to just suck air and take this life for granted. I think everyone needs a copy of this book!

Brook Harvey-Taylor, founder of Pacifica

We are the ones we have been waiting for.

ALICE WALKER

I like to believe humanity is composed of pretty well-intentioned folks. We have a hunch that, no shit, the planet is dying under the weight of industrialized consumption and disposable culture and that we might have a little something to do with that. So we recycle our hearts out, buy fancy organic produce when its on sale, and carry our colorful reusable water bottles to the gym (when we remember), all in the hopes of making a dent in an issue thats fast approaching DEFCON 1. But in a day and age when people claim to care increasingly more about sustainability, our planet is also in the worst state its been in, well, ever (well get to specifics on that . How can this be? Well, heres my hunch: the dissonance between our desire to be green and our sloth-like inaction stems from three factors:

An immobilizing belief that government regulation is more effective than individual action

Lack of clear, credible guidance on powerful personal solutions

The problematic stigma that sustainable living is expensive, inconvenient, socially isolating, and an all- or-nothing pursuit requiring absolute perfection

All of these limiting beliefs create and propagate a dangerous and defeatist ethos of why bother? So instead of realizing the precious individual influence that got us into this planetary pickle in the first place, we sit back and literally watch the world burn, hoping that some big shot will step in, pick up the pieces, or, at the very least, pour us a stiff drink.

WHY YOU SHOULD GIVE A SHIT

I had originally conceptualized this book to be about how to make eco-friendly living stylish and fun. Then, on the eve of November 8, 2016, whilst drowning my disbelief in endless glasses of raspberry vodka and soda along with millions of others around the globe, it became abundantly clear that the concept needed to shift because, holy crap, the stakes were raised exponentially in, like, four hours. Now, this isnt a political tome, but to cover sustainability while ignoring a US presidential administration that denies climate change or thwarts efforts to alleviate environmental burden would be to pen a fantasy fiction book. And that, this is not.
