Overview

"Decycle is a must-read for anyone interested in new practical solutions to combat global warming. Part one provides reasons for hope as a counterbalance to the daily barrage of depressing climate-related narratives that are negatively impacting young people in particular. Part two is a reality check that looks back to a simpler time and out into the cosmos. Are we less ""green"" now than in the 1950s, and can humans really control anything the vastness of space might deliver to the planet? Section three examines the transition, reviewing the pros and cons of a dozen green initiatives now underway. Most have merit, but do come with associated carbon emissions and pollution costs. Part four covers the origin of Decycle and how it evolved, including a brief analysis conducted on a Canadian city that clearly shows the number of tons of emissions that can be stopped. Small adjustments to existing systems will reduce emissions while saving money for cities and taxpayers. If you genuinely want to get involved in novel solutions, the opportunity to do so is in your hands. It's time to Decycle."

Author Information

Robert Setter is an analyst, consultant and writer. He left UBC's faculty of science at age nineteen to work for a multinational retailer before completing a degree in economics a few years later. After a short stint as a federal investigator left him disillusioned with government inefficiencies, he embarked on a twenty-year career in education, eventually reaching director for a private college before pivoting to consulting and writing full time. This lead to several director positions with companies exploring the metals used in electric-vehicle batteries, which in turn led to a search for new ways to reduce emissions. The book, Decycle, introduces a new practical solution that will reduce carbon emissions and save money for taxpayers. He currently resides on the east coast of Vancouver Island in the province of British Columbia.
