'In wartime, we know everyone has to play their part if we are to win. This is the handbook we all need to win the battle against climate change. It gives us the tools we need to make the choices that make the difference. Simple and clear, there's a challenge on every page, but it puts the power to effect change in our hands.' - Lord Deben, former chair of the UK government's Committee on Climate Change 'Many people are minded to think that governments will solve their problems, but my experience in government, business and the charity world has led me to the conclusion that it is individuals that have the real power to change the world if they know what actions to take. This book provides the necessary insight: what practical actions you can take to tackle climate change, to make a difference, and why doing so is important. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I have.' - Mark Price, founder of Workl 'Friendly, practical, original ... dip-inable. You will be drawn into the myriad ways you can make yourself happier and extend the life of the planet. And yes you can measure everything in pairs of jeans if you are left cold by talk of a carbon calculator! Buy this book to find your own way, in a world where so-called leaders are increasingly failing to set any kind of example. Enjoy!' - Jim Steer, Greengauge 21 'The book ... has helped me make sense of how I can play a part in reducing carbon dioxide emissions. [It] doesn't patronise or tell you what to do. It gives ideas and choices. It is a reminder that we're not powerless when it comes to climate change - we can be the changemakers.' - Glenn Lyons, Mott MacDonald Professor of Future Mobility, UWE Bristol
