Description

You’ve seen the fires. You’ve seen the floods. You’ve read the news reports. And now you want to do something about it. But what? And how?Four out of five people want to do more to protect the planet in the face of a climate emergency, and yet there is no comprehensive and accessible guide to help concerned people work out what they can do. Instead a mixture of inertia, terror or a sense that no individual can make a difference has frozen most of us into doing little or nothing at all.WHAT ONE PERSON CAN DO is the one book that anyone wanting to act on climate change needs. It is uniquely broad in scope, going beyond the usual focus on reducing our environmental footprints, to consider how to talk persuasively about the crisis with others, how to transform the organisations and communities we’re part of, how to upgrade our broader society through campaigning and activism, and how to look after ourselves as we do so.
