The Idler team believe that idleness is unjustly criticized in modern society when it is, in fact, a vital component of a happy life. This new issue of the Idler looks at man, nature, and the earth and reveals that doing nothing is the only way to save the planet. Pieces include Richard Benson on growing a wild flower meadow and noted Gaia scientist Stephen Harding on why we need to stop interfering with nature.

Review:
"Britain's coolest magazine" -- Alex James, Blur "Uniquely engaging... devoted to idleness in all its forms... surprisingly energetic in its sagacious coverage of trends and trendiness... Packed with ideas" * Time Out * "The thinking person's Loaded" * Select * "Full of good things... genuinely radical, irreverent and iconoclastic" -- the late Rt Hon Alan Clark "I'd read it even if I didn't write for it" -- Louis Theroux
