5.0 out of 5 stars This book fills a gap, 12 Mar 2007
This is by far the best guide to the the carbon implications of daily living that I've seen. Chris Goodall has both done his homework and presented it all in an accessible way. This book will give you a good understanding of what the biggest carbon issues are in your lifestyle, how the emissions arrise and what you can do about them. He's transparent in his analysis and about where his data comes from, so you can make up your own mind whether you agree with him at every step.

4.0 out of 5 stars The best start to a low carbon lifestyle, 5 April 2007
By Peter Shield "editor-naturalchoices.co.uk" (Languedoc- France) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
In the How to Live a low-carbon life, Chris Goodall looks at how we generate carbon in our day to day live and what is the most cost effective way to reduce our footprint.

Therein lies the key difference between this book and the many published before arguing why we should reduce our carbon foot print, or advocating one solution over an other for ideological rather than economic reasons. Chris Goodall has a no nonsense financial analysis to his approach, what is the cheapest way to cut carbon emissions, what is practical and what is just wishful thinking?

It will be sometime before such a clear no nonsense book needs to be re-written- although hopefully Government grants for installing energy saving and generating improvements, the price of selling energy back to the local grid, and the cost of running `green' transport will mean that the figures need to be updated.

If you only buy one book on this subject you could do worse than buying this one

5.0 out of 5 stars Detailed home guide to helping the planet, 20 Dec 2007
By Rolf Dobelli "getAbstract.com" (Switzerland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Despite the strong evidence for global warming, neither industries nor governments are changing their assumption that the world has an inexhaustible supply of inexpensive fossil fuel. Instead, individuals will make the difference, because consumer desires fuel the business cycle. In chapters that cover daily activities such as home heating, cooking, travel and use of appliances, Chris Goodall explains how you can reduce your carbon emissions from an average of 12.5 tons per year to three. Though the book sometimes bogs down in an overabundance of information, charts and formulas, we recommend it to individuals and organizations who want to learn how they can make an immediate difference.
