Shopping, living, life: How our behavior affects the climate!

SMS or email, electric hand dryer or paper towel: Which causes a higher CO2 emission? We hear a lot about the impact of car journeys or flights on our climate. But how do our everyday decisions contribute to climate change, and what are the effects compared to major disasters like burning rainforests?

Mike Berners-Lee analyzes how our daily behavior concretely impacts global CO2 emissions and presents many ways we can personally act to stop climate change!

• Learn to accurately assess your ecological footprint, including indirect emissions!
• Travel, food, clothing, and housing: over 100 climate protection examples from daily life
• Precise statements through CO2e values: CO2 equivalents capture the impact of all greenhouse gases (including methane and nitrogen oxides)
• Transparent and comprehensible: detailed information on calculating the ecological footprint
• Entertaining and scientifically grounded: From the author of the bestseller "There Is No Planet B"

Train your instinct: Live sustainably thanks to CO2 awareness

There are consumer decisions where we don’t need to calculate. We know what a liter of milk costs and that a bottle of champagne is significantly more expensive. Now it’s time to develop such an instinct for CO2 as well. Only then can we estimate what the ecological balance of food actually looks like or how high the resource consumption of phones or cars is.

Mike Berners-Lee provides us with the necessary tools for this. He never writes in a condescending way, but always informatively and inspiringly. In his book, we find not only answers to our questions about global CO2 emissions but also learn to assess how our behavior contributes to climate change. Empowered by facts, we can consciously choose a sustainable, resource-saving lifestyle.
