Carbon Choices is an accessible guide to our climate crisis. "I greatly look forward to reading it", Sir David Attenborough. My aim is to help you to understand climate change and nature loss and provide common-sense solutions before COP26, the global climate conference to be held in Glasgow. I am a Scottish geographer, ex-accountant and now work as an Energy and Water Specialist. I am not a scientist or academic. But, I am backed by many academics, businesses and climate change experts. Section 1 introduces carbon dioxide, climate change and the destruction of nature. It summarises the impacts of climate change and how we have created an environmental crisis. Section 2 introduces ten building blocks that are needed to lay the foundations to enable us to make better choices for the planet. Section 3 introduces five principles to guide individual consumers, businesses and governments. I apply these principles to our everyday lives - our diets, homes, travel, shopping and leisure. By doing so we can rewild nature, improve our society, be healthier, happier and lead more fulfilled lives. The future can be better. The book concludes with a green action plan and a vegan recipe. A summary and testimonials are available at www.carbonchoices.uk. I am donating one third of profits to rewilding projects. REVIEWS A "must read". Philip Rodney, The Times "brilliantly written, clear, concise and balanced". Kevin Albin, author of Stonechild "shows how the climate and biodiversity emergencies can be solved by common-sense actions by society and individuals." Professor Emeritus David Sugden, University of Edinburgh "it's fantastic - so well written, clear and to the point". Gloria Barnett, scientist, author and presenter " a must read for policy makers, leaders and individuals who want to build a sustainable future". Dr Sam Curran, Environmentalist " an easy to understand overview of current consensus - it's refreshingly forthright". Plantlife, Spring 2021 Magazine "food for thought to those of us who want to leave the world in a better place than we found it". Colin Webster, Ellen MacArthur Foundation "Neil's book will inform and inspire you to make the right carbon choices that we all so urgently need to make". Mike Robinson, Chief Executive, Royal Scottish Geographical Society "should be compulsory reading for young adults and for all government officials". Dave Pearson, Star Refrigeration "optimistically but realistically outlines the solutions we need to take, creating a vision for a brighter, more sustainable future". Amelia Huntington, A Level Geography Student "a brilliant source to guide you to make better decisions". Dr Martin Valenti, 2020 Climate Group "Neil tackles climate and nature together to create a stimulating, compelling and challenging vision for the future". Clive Mitchell, NatureScot "fighting climate change is the single biggest challenge that we all face....practical recommendations that we can all follow". Barry Carruthers, Scottish Power "helpful for students and geography teachers looking for an engaging book without drowning people in science". Professor Sean Smith, University of Edinburgh "if you only read one book on climate change make it this one - it will change your life". Eric McRory, Environment Protection Agency… (mer)
