About
We all want to do the right thing for the planet, but what's the real impact of each of the things we do and buy? We hear a lot about driving and flying, but what about sending a text message, buying a cappuccino or going for a swim? How do apples compare to oranges or bananas, buying a newspaper with surfing the internet, or cut flowers with house plants? And what about the big things? How much CO2 is generated by a bushfire, a volcano, or a war? Packed full of information yet always entertaining, How Bad Are Bananas? comes up with the answers we need and provides plenty of revelations. Be warned everything you thought you knew about green living is - about to be turned on its head. About the Author Mike Berners-Lee is founding director of Small World Consulting, an associate company of Lancaster University that specialises in measuring the carbon footprints of products and services.
