Climate Change Begins at Home: Life on the Two-way Street of Global Warming [Anglais] [Relié]

'Brilliant work - I am a fan'

'An excellent primer on how to cut your contribution to climate change.'

Climate change is one of the greatest threats that humankind faces in the twenty-first century. But while government and industry fail to act, this book argues, we could all work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 60%, the level necessary to halt the current trend according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Packed with provocative case studies, calculations, and lifestyle comparisons, this entertaining and authoritative book makes the complexities of climatology tractable and challenges readers to rethink their notions of -doing their part.+

This book quantifies how and why every one of us can and must halt climate change by taking action at home, in the garden, on the way to work, in the office, on holiday, at the supermarket, the bank and even the funeral parlour. Climate Change Begins at Home is an entertaining exploration of how and why we can and must halt climate change - one of greatest threats humankind faces in 21st century.
