From the publisher's announcement:
'For thirty years Mayer Hillman has been busily turning conventional political thinking on its head ... he has come up with solutions that are hard to dismiss'
Guardian
Climate change is the single biggest problem that humankind has ever had to face. Yet politicians cannot agree a framework for tackling it effectively and meanwhile we continue with lifestyles that are way beyond the planet's limits. Here Mayer Hillman explains the real issues we should focus on: what the government is doing, what role technology can play and, above all, why we must act now to protect our planet for later generations. Challenging, stimulating and practical, How We Can Save the Planet is the essential guide to help you understand how we can safeguard our future.
