Excellent book that paired good information with actionable steps to take. I do wish the section on how to combat clothing waste was a bit longer/more in-depth, but this was a really important book that seeks to empower readers and get them to make a change.

I enjoyed the author's voice (literal and figurative). The tone was very conversational and felt more like an audiobook. The beginning felt quite strong, but as the book went on, it started to feel a little unfocused.

Consumed is very informative and insightful. This book will definitely make you reflect and consider your role in society as a consumer. I will say at times the book was repetitive but the quality of the content was high. I do recommend this book.
