Earth Day 2025: What do we have to do to save the planet?

 

For Earth Day 2025, my brilliant publisher Isabelle asked me if I might make a video on what I thought we (i.e. humanity) need to do to save the planet. Well it just so happens that I've been thinking a lot about this very subject. I've been writing a book ('The Climate Crisis Picture Book') along with a very talented illustrator, Jemma Pentney, and one of the graphics that we created is a chart to show all the jigsaw pieces we might need if we are to stop adding 37.4 billion tonnes of CO2 to the atmosphere every year. It isn't easy to do justice to this in just 5 minutes. But here is my attempt. This might be the most important thing I ever post. But only if people watch it, I suppose. Feel free to share it. Or to comment.  Thank you.
