dc.descriptionThis booklet explores the reality of climate change and asks where we stand as individuals on the issue of global warming. The key elements to understanding the climate crisis are briefly discussed including defining the problem, the relationship between global warming and CO2, sustainability, resources, measuring and offsetting emissions, the cost of carbon and offsetting, ecological footprints, energy, travel, food including waste, water resources, planet health, health and wellbeing. How do we set targets/goals? Whether it is one earth or a fixed carbon budget per individual (e.g. global average of 3.8 tonnes of CO2e per year which equates to a primary footprint of 1.55 t CO2e/y). The booklet focuses on planning personal carbon reduction using several techniques, including the use of personal plans.en
