Many chapters to understand how to set aside a considerable sum: 700 euros in 7 days. But what to do with this money placed safely in our green piggy bank, which will be increasingly full as we continue with sobriety and attention to waste along this path?
We have many reinvestment possibilities to pursue: saving means being less dependent on money and a salary made of sacrifices, overtime and traffic, to regain free hours to dedicate to our loved ones, to our passions and to the common good.
Time freed from an all-encompassing occupation to be more productive at the same time, working less and working better. And we will also gain a lot of happiness!
The book was born from the idea of having a practical guide at hand, as complete and easy as possible to obtain considerable economic savings , which is also in tune with the environment.
With small eco-friendly gestures and daily practices, which focus firmly on the fight against waste, we will be able to get closer to the goal of 700 euros in 7 days!
The text delves into the topic of reducing energy bills and waste at home, paying attention to ways of optimizing resources and the sharing economy. After the success of the author's first book, Fatto in casa, the theme of self-production returns in a different key, much more focused on cost-effectiveness, with illustrative and comparative tables, and on the correct reading of labels, to become of freer and more informed consumers.
The book covers many topics:
- waste reduction and resource optimization
- domestic self-production
- sharing economy
- repairs and home maintenance
- homemade gifts
- savings on the care of children and adolescents
- natural animal care
- used, bulk, recycling and waste reduction
- vegetable garden, composting and saving on home greenery

However, there is a deeper subplot in the text: the role of manual is advanced in the spirit of triggering a change in the lifestyle of others.
