Samenvatting

Living the 1.5 Degree Lifestyle reveals the carbon cost of everything we do and shows how to slash your own carbon footprint by 80% to 2.5 tonnes per year by choosing a life of quality over quantity, and sufficiency over efficiency, as we race to save our only home from catastrophic heating.

Stop thinking about efficiency and start thinking about sufficiency

Alter is a master of the carbon drawdown roadmap.
— Chuck Wolfe, author, Sustaining a City's Culture and Character A fabulously entertaining guide to where all those emissions lurk.
— Kate Power, development director, Hot or Cool Institute

How do we live rich, abundant lives while also keeping global heating below 1.5 degrees? We slash our average carbon footprint by 80% to 2.5 tonnes per year. By embracing sufficiency over efficiency, we can do it in less than a decade.

Join Lloyd Alter as he reveals the carbon cost of everything we do, identifying where we can make big reductions, while not sweating the small stuff. Coverage includes:

What it looks like to live a rich and truly green life
From take-out food, to bikes and cars, to your internet usage – finding the big wins, ignoring the trivial, and spotting marketing ploys
The invisible embodied carbon baked into everything we own and why electric cars aren't the answer
The roles of individuals versus governments and corporations.

Grounded in meticulous research and yet accessible to all, Living the 1.5 Degree Lifestyle is a journey toward a life of quality over quantity, and sufficiency over efficiency, as we race to save our only home from catastrophic heating.

For all who've been preaching climate action, or skirting it, read this and own up to all the ways you could try harder, and then get louder about sharing the overall life benefits you gain.
— Andrea Learned, climate leadership strategist, founder, #Bikes4Climate Tells us exactly what we as citizens of the world must do in our everyday lives to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions before it's too late.

Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews? Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews?

Negatief, positief, neutraal: we zetten een review altijd online. We controleren wel eerst of ’ie voldoet aan onze reviewvoorwaarden en niet nep is. We controleren ook of ’ie is geschreven door iemand die het artikel heeft gekocht via bol.com en zetten dit er dan bij. De controles gebeuren automatisch, al kijken er soms mensen mee. Bol.com betaalt niet voor reviews. Als een reviewer door een andere partij is vergoed, staat dit in de review zelf.
