About the Book
The atmosphere is getting fat on our carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions and it needs our help. We live in a world of excess, consuming too much of everything – food, clothes, cars, toys, shoes, bricks, and mortar. Our excess is so extreme that it threatens our own health and well-being. And we are not the only ones who are getting sick. The Earth, which provides the food, air, water, and land that sustains us, is also under severe pressure. We either take steps to put our personal and planetary systems back into balance or we suffer the consequences. So, what does any unhealthy, overweight person do when the doctor tells him or her that they are eating themselves into an early grave? Go on a diet!
This is the must-have guide to the most important diet ever, explaining climate change concepts and summarizing problems and solutions in ways that anyone can easily understand. Following a five-step climate diet plan, families will be able to count their carbon calories and learn how to reduce them, leaving us with a slim healthy planet now and for the future.
