How citizens can make realistic, climate-friendly lifestyle changes in a carbon-based economy: "Readable, passionate, and rational." ? Quarterly Review of Biology Our world is getting hotter, and it's our fault-our addiction to fossil fuels is destroying our fragile ecosystems and increasingly wreaking havoc. How can we respond to climate change deniers who mock the fact that environmental activists use fossil fuels? In short, how can an average citizen live a normal, functional life in a carbon-based economy without being justifiably called a hypocrite? In The Carbon Code, conservation biologist Brett Favaro answers these thorny questions, offering simple strategies to help you reduce your carbon footprint-without abandoning common sense. The Carbon Code is based on the four Rs: Reduce, Replace, Refine, and Rehabilitate. After outlining the scientific basics of climate change and explaining the logic of the code he prescribes, the author describes carbon-friendly technologies and behaviors we can adopt in our daily lives. However, he acknowledges that individual action, while vital, is insufficient. To achieve global sustainability, he insists we must make the fight against climate change go viral through conspicuous conservation. The Carbon Codeis a tool of empowerment that shows you how to take ownership of your carbon footprint and adopt a lifestyle of conspicuous conservation that will spur governments and corporations to do the same. Saving the planet is, after all, about saving ourselves. The Carbon Codeprovides a framework to do this, and helps you become a hero in the fight against climate change. "Explains in refreshingly forthright terms how technological advances are making it easier and cheaper to be green."? Financial Times
