Feeding the world, climate change, biodiversity, antibiotics, plastics
- the list of concerns seems endless. But what is most pressing, what
are the knock-on effects of our actions, and what should we do first?
Do we all need to become vegetarian? How can we fly in a low-carbon
world? Should we frack? How can we take control of technology? Does it
all come down to population? And, given the global nature of the
challenges we now face, what on Earth can any of us do? Fortunately,
Mike Berners-Lee has crunched the numbers and plotted a course of
action that is practical and even enjoyable. There is No Planet B maps
it out in an accessible and entertaining way, filled with astonishing
facts and analysis. For the first time you'll find big-picture
perspective on the environmental and economic challenges of the day
laid out in one place, and traced through to the underlying roots -
questions of how we live and think. This book will shock you, surprise
you - and then make you laugh. And you'll find practical and even
inspiring ideas for what you can actually do to help humanity thrive
on this – our only – planet.
