Low-Carbon Life by Chris Goodall

'This is the carbon-reduction bible. Accept no imitations.' Mark Lynas, author of Six Degrees

'This is the definitive guide to reducing your carbon footprint.' New Scientist

In the How to Live a low-carbon life, Chris Goodall looks at how we generate carbon in our day to day life and what is the most cost effective way to reduce our footprint.

Therein lies the key difference between this book and the many published before arguing why we should reduce our carbon foot print, or advocating one solution over an other for ideological rather than economic reasons. Chris Goodall has a no nonsense financial analysis to his approach, what is the cheapest way to cut carbon emissions, what is practical and what is just wishful thinking?

It will be sometime before such a clear no nonsense book needs to be re-written- although hopefully Government grants for installing energy saving and generating improvements, the price of selling energy back to the local grid, and the cost of running `green' transport will mean that the figures need to be updated.

If you only buy one book on this subject you could do worse than buying this one.
