How to Reduce Your Carbon Emissions: ... and Save Money on Your Bills
London Publishing Partnership (Verlag)
978-1-916749-42-9 (ISBN)
The aim of this book is to help readers prioritize their
actions so they can focus their efforts on things that work for them
(recognizing that we are in a cost-of-living crisis as well as a climate
crisis) and that can make a real difference. The book includes more than 100
carbon-saving actions and money-saving tips as well as ideas for living a
healthier lifestyle. Actions are categorized according to the amount of carbon
they can save, and to help visualize the emissions generated by different activities
a scale has been created based on the emissions generated by the manufacture of
a typical pair of jeans.
The book covers actions that individuals can take as well as
ones that are actionable by organizations looking to reduce their Scope 3
emissions. The range of activities and areas addressed includes
cleaning/washing, cooking, lighting, home heating, transport and travel, food,
shopping, gardening, water usage and general lifestyle. If you want to know how
much of a difference in terms of both cost and carbon emissions that loft
insulation makes, say, or you're interested in the difference between tap and
bottled water or in the pros and cons of an electric vehicle, this book has the
answers.
How to Reduce Your Carbon Emissions ... and save money on
your bills is aimed at anyone who wants to make informed choices and to
make a difference to their lives, their health, their finances and the planet.
Tony Duckenfield worked for many years as a transport consultant with a particular expertise in helping people to resist their car dependence and use healthier and more environmentally responsible options instead. He is vice chair of the ITS Mobility Forum, reflecting a personal interest in fair and accessible transport for everyone.
