Summary
"This completely updated edition brings the reader even more handy tips on how to help combat the climate emergency and other environmental problems. New to this edition are: an expanded "What can I do?" section; coverage of Extinction Rebellion, school children marches, the role of protest; more for the business community on offsetting, Carbon net zero, and investing; the effects of pandemics and COVID-19; Australian wildfires.
