A short book with actionable and data.

[Diana R · Rating 2 out of 5]

A few practical action points mixed in together with many unrealistic ones. "Don't but individuals gifts for Christmas" is one of those. If it wasn't such an important topic I would give this book 0 stars. Also, organic farming does not necessarily have a smaller carbon footprint, see a Nature 2018 study about Swedish pea farmers. Having a statement: "buy local, organic produce" as one of the top ten tips for a greener life, when in fact it is not a fully resolved issue and certainly not the focus of solutions proposed by climate science, summarises why this book falls short for me.

Not very informative.

Good overview with some handy tips and tricks. Would have liked to see the reports where the facts/ figures came from so I could do some further reading.
