'Terrifying yet funny surprising yet predictable simple yet poignant' Chris Packham A
shocking but informative eye-catching and witty book of maps that illustrate the perilous
state of our planet. The maps in this book are often shocking sometimes amusing and packed
with essential information: · Did you know that just 67 companies worldwide are responsible for
67 per cent of global greenhouse emissions? · Or that keeping a horse has the same carbon
footprint as a 23 500-kilometre road trip? · Did you know how many countries use less energy
than is consumed globally by downloading porn from the internet? · Do you know how much of the
earth's surface has been concreted over? · Or how many trees would we have to plant to make our
planet carbon-neutral? Presenting a wealth of innovative scientific research and data in
stunning beautiful infographics 99 Maps to Save the Planet provides us with instant snapshots
of the destruction of our environment. At one glance we can see the precarious state of our
planet - but also realise how easy it would be to improve it Enlightening a bit frightening
but definitely inspiring 99 Maps to Save the Planet doesn't provide practical tips on how to
save our planet: it just presents the facts. And the facts speak for themselves. Once we know
them what excuse do we have for failing to act?
