'IT IS TERRIFIC. I CAN'T REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I READ A BOOK THAT WAS
MORE FASCINATING AND USEFUL AND ENJOYABLE ALL AT THE SAME TIME.' BILL
BRYSON
_How Bad Are Bananas? _was a groundbreaking book when first published
in 2009, when most of us were hearing the phrase 'carbon footprint'
for the first time. Mike Berners-Lee set out to inform us what was
important (aviation, heating, swimming pools) and what made very
little difference (bananas, naturally packaged, are good!).
This new edition updates all the figures (from data centres to hosting
a World Cup) and introduces many areas that have become a regular part
of modern life - Twitter, the Cloud, Bitcoin, electric bikes and cars,
even space tourism. Berners-Lee runs a considered eye over each area
and gives us the figures to manage and reduce our own carbon
footprint, as well as to lobby our companies, businesses and
government. His findings, presented in clear and even entertaining
prose, are often surprising. And they are essential if we are to
address climate change.
