Stop thinking about efficiency and start thinking about sufficiency
Alter is a master of the carbon drawdown roadmap.¿ Chuck Wolfe, author, Sustaining a City's Culture and Character A fabulously entertaining guide to where all those emissions lurk.
¿ Kate Power, development director, Hot or Cool Institute
How do we live rich, abundant lives while also keeping global heating below 1.5 degrees? We slash our average carbon footprint by 80% to 2.5 tonnes per year. By embracing sufficiency over efficiency, we can do it in less than a decade.
Join Lloyd Alter as he reveals the carbon cost of everything we do, identifying where we can make big reductions, while not sweating the small stuff. Coverage includes:
- What it looks like to live a rich and truly green life
- From take-out food, to bikes and cars, to your internet usage ¿ finding the big wins, ignoring the trivial, and spotting marketing ploys
- The invisible embodied carbon baked into everything we own and why electric cars aren't the answer
- The roles of individuals versus governments and corporations.
Grounded in meticulous research and yet accessible to all, Living the 1.5 Degree Lifestyle is a journey toward a life of quality over quantity, and sufficiency over efficiency, as we race to save our only home from catastrophic heating.
For all who've been preaching climate action, or skirting it, read this and own up to all the ways you could try harder, and then get louder about sharing the overall life benefits you gain.¿ Andrea Learned, climate leadership strategist, founder, #Bikes4ClimateTells us exactly what we as citizens of the world must do in our everyday lives to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions before it's too late.
