Your essential planet-saving manual
When the Acme Climate Action project was conceived, the plan was to create a book unlike any other.
Instead of telling readers what to do about global warming, Acme Climate Action would give them the tools to do it. No scolding, haranguing or harassment, no lists of Things What You Got To Do, just something everyone can use to start making a difference.
This isn’t a book to read in bed, but a book to get busy with… to tear, stick, share, post, assemble, inspire and activate. It has stickers for your light switches and home appliances, letters to send to troublesome politicians and companies, inspiring posters for your home and office, a ‘carbon wheel’ to calculate your footprint, a home energy audit, labels to re-use your envelopes, DIY ideas to give your throwaways a new lease of life, postcards to spread the word, a natty notebook cover for some creative recycling, a tear out book to share with your friends… and much more. Even the front and back cover are designed to be re-purposed into a tasteful picture frame.
So whether you’re a committed environmentalist or merely Concerned But Confused, aged eight or eighty, this book is your essential planet-saving manual.
