Easy Eco-Auditing sets out to "enable you to carry out a basic eco-audit of your home and workplace, and so join the millions of others across the world who are already taking action to save our environment and lessen the effects of the climate crisis brought about by a dangerous build-up of greenhouse gases."
This book delivers on this promise leaving the reader the challenge to take on and implement the many, but individually simple, steps and suggestions outlined.
For those of us who need constant reminding of what is at stake (no less than our future and that of our children), the introduction and first chapter lay out the current situation and the need for action in a clear, logical and compelling manner. Reminders of the urgency are provided gently and considerately throughout the book.
Easy Eco Auditing steers the reader through every aspect of our lives, ranging from transport to cleaning products and heating to travelling. Each chapter lists the questions to ask and provides solutions, a useful appendix gives links to research and further information.
The overall effect is that of giving the compelling and urgent reasons for action AND a positive agenda clarifying how to make a difference.The final chapter briefly describes the author's eco-lifestyle, he has not only been the change he wants to see and lived the principles he expounds for nearly twenty years, but has the hands-on practical experience to write this book.
Donnachadh is described by the Sunday Times as the "UK's top eco consultant" and in this book he has laid down and made public the knowledge and experience he has built up. Clearly this is a man more interested in the bigger picture than personal gain and this is a blueprint for all of us to take action, today, both at home and at work.
This book is practical, it is about answers and describes the way forward to a more sustainable life, empowering any reader to take effective action to help save themselves and our only planet. Lets hope it is a best seller.
