Why climate change is often so boring Why polar bears don’t persuade us How plastic bags became a fetish How a spin in a Ferrari fits into a low carbon future Why smokers can teach us anything we need to know Why we need to think of climate change as a scary but survivable roller coaster ride How to find joy and thrive in a climate change world

Carbon Detox puts and strong and persuasive argument that we must stop thinking about ‘saving the planet’ and ‘giving things up’. Instead, it says, let’s adopt a light-carbon lifestyle because it is the only smart, fun, healthy and modern way to live in the 21st century.
