How to become the first generation to create a sustainable planet. Do you ever feel anxious about the state of our planet? Climate change, loss of biodiversity, and oceans full of plastic are critical issues, but panic helps us no more than denial. Hannah Ritchie examines seven major environmental challenges facing humanity and shows us how to tackle them. If we succeed, we will achieve true sustainability for the first time in history. The book presents many surprising facts, such as: - Reducing beef consumption can help the planet more than recycling. - Millions of people die due to air pollution, yet we are breathing the cleanest air in the last hundred years. - Urban growth does not destroy nature; living in cities is, in fact, more sustainable for the Earth. Humanity has already managed to address the ozone layer issue—and it can also tackle climate change.
