We are in a time of climate crisis. People are concerned, and there is evidence that they are happy to take action to reduce their carbon emissions so long as it's easy and not too expensive. The great lack of reliable and practical information about how to do this effectively is therefore a significant problem - and one that is made worse by frequent greenwashing.

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.
