'Punchy, provocative and wonderfully readable' - David Shukman'Eye-popping and essential' - Rowan Hooper'A must-read' - Peter Stott Have you heard that you should plant trees to save the planet? Or buy carbon offsets when you fly? Or recycle plastic? Go vegan? Or not have children? What if all these actions were a distraction, no matter how well-intentioned?In this provocative manifesto, Assaad Razzouk shows that for too long our ideas about what's best for the environment have been unfocused and distracted, trying to go in too many directions and concentrating on individual behaviour. While some of these things can be useful, they are dwarfed by one big thing that simply has to happen very soon if we're to avoid major environmental breakdown: curtailing the activities of the fossil fuel industry.Full of counter-intuitive statistics and positive suggestions for individual and collective action, this ingenious book will change how you view the climate crisis.

We read that food production makes up one third of greenhouse gas emissions, yet we throw away 1 billion tonnes of it. We're drowning in seemingly insurmountable global problems on which everyone has an opinion, but few practical solutions!So, how can we possibly make a difference? Where do we even start?What began as a personal to-do list for Ana Santi has transformed into a book for anyone, anywhere, who may not have yet changed their habits for the future of the planet and humanity but would like to start now.Each chapter focuses on something we do in our daily lives: eat, breathe, work, travel. Every personal decision we make around these things has a direct link to the global climate crisis. Each chapter features a collection of three essays on the subject covered from an expert in that field, either personal, scientific or professional. The chapter culminates with three simple actions you can ta…
