Global warming is set to be the most significant and prolonged challenge that humans are ever likely to face. Much of the news on climate change focuses on the current crises and looming dangers. It is easy to feel helpless - that the problem is already out of our control. In "Cool Solutions for a Warming Planet", authors Vivienne and John Benton put forth an empowering, solution-based proposal that clearly outlines how every individual can make a difference. Presenting a three-pronged approach to the challenges posed by a warming planet, the authors identify and debunk some of the obstacles that humans presently face in trying to live sustainably, provide the social motivations underpinning the need to move towards a new low-carbon age and demonstrate hundreds of significant ways to reduce waste and move towards an energy-efficient lifestyle. "Cool Solutions for a Warming Planet" includes practical examples of low-cost, high-reward, DIY retrofitting that can be carried out in and around the home.
