ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Whole Earth Catalog

The Whole Earth Catalog was like a big book that showed lots of interesting things that you could buy or learn about. It had lots of pictures and information about everything from cool tools to helping the environment. It was kind of like an encyclopedia for people who were interested in learning about how to live better and do things more sustainably. People really liked it because it had lots of useful information all in one place. It was kind of like a giant toy catalog, but instead of just toys, it had stuff for grownups and ways to help the planet.
