Spend Green and Save The World

Climate change is the most important issue facing the world today. But are you left wondering what more you can do, personally? This book is a practical guide on what you can do to make a difference. And the amazing thing is that it only takes 3.5% of a population to act in order to create cultural change, and a mindshift in wider thinking! By coming together and using our consumer power - as part of The Consumer-Led Movement - we can influence businesses and government policy, and rapidly shape a better future. All through consciously choosing how we spend our money. Making changes can be challenging even when we have the best of intentions. Instead of massive, overnight changes - incremental change is the key. By applying principles from psychology and problem-solving techniques, this book shows readers how to embark on a motivational journey of actualising climate change solutions. These provide the means to live in line with environmental values, and improve overall wellbeing. > Dig into the true causes of climate change. > Learn why government policy is too slow and indebted to big business to implement profound, speedy change. > Understand how to take personal action to improve your carbon footprint, even when life is full of other priorities. > Use Lean/Agile techniques to actually implement change in your life. > See how one person can make a difference, by being part of a small network of change. > Learn from an author who has walked the walk, not just talked the talk.
