"An award-winning, practical (and funny) guide to reducing your carbon footprint. Calculate your carbon footprint: with an item-by-item breakdown. Meet your company's carbon goals: using the latest research. Covid-19 and the carbon battle: understand the new global supply chain. The Carbon Footprint of Everything breaks items down by the amount of carbon they produce, creating a calorie guide for the carbon-conscious. With engaging writing, leading carbon expert Mike Berners-Lee shares new carbon calculations based on recent research. He considers the impact of the pandemic on the carbon battle--especially the embattled global supply chain--and adds items we didn't consider a decade ago, like bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Supported by solid research, cross-referenced with other expert sources, illustrated with easy-to-follow charts and graphs, and written with Berners-Lee's trademark sense of humor, The Carbon Footprint of Everything should be on everyone's bookshelf. The Carbon Footprint of Everything is an extensively revised and updated edition of How Bad Are Bananas."-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

By the way, bananas are pretty good options since they come in their own naturally-formed packaging. Ironically, I read his section on bananas the same day I saw a viral photo of bananas being sold in plastic packaging after being sorted by ripeness. I hope it is a hoax, but people seem to like the idea. If I worked at a desk, I would pound my head on it.
I like that this book gives you guidance so you can compare two or more options. After reading it, you will want to keep it as a handbook to look things up when you need to comparison shop.
I like this book quite a bit. I thought it likely that a book emphasizing individual choices to combat climate change might be unrealistic and judgmental. Instead, it is merely unrealistic. I mean, we have experienced extraordinary extreme weather, fires, hurricanes, floods, and heat domes. But look, we can buy bananas sorted by ripeness in convenient plastic packaging.
While we, as individuals, can have a small impact on climate change, our greatest impact is who we vote for. Individual morality is not the answer. Strong government action and regulation of industry will do far more. Nonetheless, until governments start taking this as seriously as is needed, we, as individuals need to do what we can.
A lot of things can be sold and used without packaging. There are shampoo and dish soap in bar form so no plastic bottle is needed. There is laundry detergent pressed into sheets of ‘paper’ that dissolve in water so no plastic. Glass bottles can be washed again and again and they don’t wear out. You can was plastic food bags and reuse them. So we can do what we can, but no matter how much we do, if industry and government do not take action, the most righteous environmentalist keeping well below the goal of 5 tons per year will only have minimal effect.
I received an ARC of The Carbon Footprint of Everything from the publisher through LibraryThing.
