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.

  1. This is an important line in your blog: "But only if people watch it, I suppose."
    That's the whole point. Many people don't inform themselves and I can't understand.
    For example the documentary BUY NOW on Netflix. I've shared it with a few people but didn't get any feedback. I guess they didn't even watch it.
    I'm hoping your novels help people to gain more interest in the subject. I "promote" your books as beautiful stories and not as a novel about climate change. I'm letting them find out on their own. Sounds cheeky but it works.

    Kind regards
