Find out:
Why climate change is often so boring Why polar bears don’t persuade us How plastic bags became a fetish How a spin in a Ferrari fits into a low carbon future Why smokers can teach us anything we need to know Why we need to think of climate change as a scary but survivable roller coaster ride How to find joy and thrive in a climate change world
Carbon Detox puts and strong and persuasive argument that we must stop thinking about ‘saving the planet’ and ‘giving things up’. Instead, it says, let’s adopt a light-carbon lifestyle because it is the only smart, fun, healthy and modern way to live in the 21st century.

He is founder of the charity the Climate Outreach and Information Network www.coinet.org.uk and appears regularly in newspapers and on television and radio .
