Coles How to Tread Lightly on the Earth: Following a low-carbon, low-biodiversity loss, plastic-free lifestyle at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
For many of us, concern for the planet and our footprint upon it is a part of everyday life. Our newsfeeds are full of reports of climate disaster, plastic pollution in our oceans and a collapse in worldwide biodiversity. We know ‘something must be done’. But this is a complex and confusing proposition. What exactly must be done? By whom? And in a world of eight billion people, what can any one of us do that can genuinely make a difference?
Based on her own journey trying to ‘tread more lightly on the Earth’, Lucinda provides:
• A crash course in the facts of the problem, separating wild prophecy from scientific fact, and political agenda from truth.
• Tips on reducing your carbon footprint, plastic use and impact on biodiversity.
• An honest exposition of the struggles Lucinda faced in her own journey fighting against a ‘system’ set up to promote plastic and carbon-intensive consumerism.
• Advice on how to combat the ‘rebound effect’ so that your personal efforts are not undone by others, plus how to generate ripples that have a bigger impact than just your own actions.
• Tips on how to stand firm in the face of naysayers, deniers and those who want to deflect you from your path.
