BRAND NEW EDITION OF BESTSELLING GREEN GUIDE
Ten years on from first publication, a new edition of this
invaluable and entertaining guide that shows just what effect
everything has on carbon emissions, from a Google search to a
plastic bag, from a flight to a volcano.

Mike makes regular speaking, TV and radio appearances to promote awareness of sustainability and climate change issues. He is also the author of The Burning Question and There Is No Planet B.
It is terrific. I can't remember the last time I read a book that
was more fascinating and useful and enjoyable all at the same
time.
*Bill Bryson*
An engaging book that manages to present serious science without
preaching. It offers tools that any reader
will be able to use and make informed choices, and even seasoned
ecoenthusiasts will be in for plenty of surprises
*New Scientist*
Enjoyable, fun to read and scientifically robust. A triumph of
popular science writing.
*Chris Goodall*
If we're serious about really addressing climate change, we need to
become energy and carbon literate, and get to grips with the
implications not only of our choices but also the bigger
infrastructures which underpin the things we consume. How can we
educate our desires unless we know what we're choosing between?
Mike Berners Lee, to my complete delight, has provided just the
wonderful foundation we need - a book that somehow made me laugh
while telling me deeply serious things.
*Peter Lipman, Director of SUSTRANS*
This book is amazing. I was either going "wow" or snorting with
laughter.
*Rachel Nunn, Director, Carbon Neutral Stirling*
Curiously fascinating to both climate geeks and well-rounded human
beings alike.
*Franny Armstrong, Director of The Age of Stupid and founder of
10:10*
