There Is No Planet B

There Is No Planet B by Mike Berners-Lee

Feeding the world, climate change, biodiversity, antibiotics, plastics, pandemics - the list of concerns seems endless. But what is most pressing, and what should we do first? Do we all need to become vegetarian? How can we fly in a low-carbon world? How can we take control of technology? And, given the global nature of the challenges we now face, what on Earth can any of us do, as individuals? Mike Berners-Lee has crunched the numbers and plotted a course of action that is full of hope, practical, and enjoyable. This is the big-picture perspective on the environmental and economic challenges of our day, laid out in one place, and traced through to the underlying roots - questions of how we live and think. This updated edition has new material on protests, pandemics, wildfires, investments, carbon targets and of course, on the key question: given all this, what can I do?

Mike Berners-Lee is an expert on sustainability and solutions to 21st-century difficulties who thinks, writes, investigates, and advises on the subject. He is the creator of Small World Consulting (SWC), a Lancaster University associate company that works with companies ranging from tiny businesses to global IT giants. In the field of carbon metrics, targets, and actions, SWC is a pioneer. How Terrible Are Bananas? is his debut book. The Burning Question: We Can't Burn Half the World's Oil, Coal, and Gas (co-written with Duncan Clark) is his second book.

So, how do we go about quitting? 'Fascinating, important, and highly recommended,' said Al Gore. Mike is a professor at Lancaster University's Center for Social Futures, where he examines the global food system and carbon metrics and develops practical tools for thinking about the future.
