Punchy provocative and wonderfully readable' - David Shukman 'Eye-popping and essential' -
Rowan Hooper 'A must-read' - Peter Stott Have you heard that you should plant trees to save the
planet? Or buy carbon offsets when you fly? Or recycle plastic? Go vegan? Or not have children?
What if all these actions were a distraction no matter how well-intentioned? In this
provocative manifesto Assaad Razzouk shows that for too long our ideas about what's best for
the environment have been unfocused and distracted trying to go in too many directions and
concentrating on individual behaviour. While some of these things can be useful they are
dwarfed by one big thing that simply has to happen very soon if we're to avoid major
environmental breakdown: curtailing the activities of the fossil fuel industry. Full of
counter-intuitive statistics and positive suggestions for individual and collective action
this ingenious book will change how you view the climate crisis.
