Synopsis

Carbon Choices provides governments, businesses and consumers with common-sense solutions to tackle climate change and nature loss. I hope it will motivate you to change your behaviour, and perhaps campaign to change business activity and government policy.

"I greatly look forward to reading it", Sir David Attenborough

I am a Scottish geographer, former accountant and now work as an Energy and Water Specialist. Whilst I am not a climate scientist, every chapter has been verified by an experienced academic, business leader or climate specialist.

Section 1 describes and explains climate change and its impacts in a clear and concise manner.

Section 2 introduces ten building blocks that society needs to put in place to lay the foundations to enable us all to make better choices for the planet.

Section 3 applies these building blocks to our everyday lives - our diets, homes, travel, shopping and leisure – outlining a more optimistic, better future. By doing so we can rewild nature, improve our society, be healthier, happier and lead more fulfilled lives.

Carbon Choices concludes with a green action plan and a vegan recipe.

A summary and testimonials are available at www.carbonchoices.uk. I am donating one third of profits to rewilding projects.
