'Living the 1.5 Degree Lifestyle'

Living the 1.5 Degree Lifestyle, the book written by Lloyd Alter, reveals the carbon cost of everything we do, identifying where we can make big reductions, while not sweating the small stuff. The international scientific consensus is that we have less than a decade to drastically slash our collective carbon emissions to keep global heating to 1.5 degrees and avert catastrophe. This means that many of us have to cut our individual carbon footprints by over 80% to 2.5 tonnes per person per year by 2030. But where to start?

Focus on a few key areas of our lives: 

• Diet

• Transport

• Housing/energy

• Consumption
