This book is for you if you don't know where to start and need practical advice on how you can help save the planet from someone who is not going to make you feel too guilty. Laura’s not telling you to never fly again, become a vegan or give up your car, but she will show how you can make small changes in every area of your life. Laura’s message is that no one can do everything, but everyone can do something – so let’s start a ripple and make a wave of change. About This Edition ISBN: In short, Everyday Ways to Save Our Planet is an informative and welcoming step-by-step resource for anyone who isn’t sure how to start living their best eco-friendly life.We’ve all forgotten what seasonal fruit and vegetables are. We should look forward to getting certain foods, like strawberries, at particular times of year. It’s easy to think that one person’s efforts can’t make much difference. But in this book, Laura guides us through the simple and often surprising changes we can all make, in a friendly and easy-to-digest style. From singing in the shower as a way to save water to using a compost bin for food waste, we can all do our bit, no matter how small. And collectively, these small changes will have a huge impact on the planet. So, what are you waiting for? Together, we can make a big difference. With over 200 “sustainable swaps” for families to implement, Everyday Ways to Save Our Planet by TV meteorologist Laura Tobin is a personal, practical and achievable guide to countering climate change. It’s one of the biggest things we can do to save money, otherwise heat goes out through the walls and windows. If you don’t close your curtains at night, you lose about 15 per cent of your heat through the windows. Along the way, Laura writes honestly about her own experiences of living a more eco-friendly life – from the things she found easy to change to the habits of a lifetime that were more difficult to shake off. You’ll also find out how her husband and daughter have adapted – or not!

In this book, Laura breaks down the science of climate change in a way that’s easy to understand. She explains how we know humans are to blame, what exactly a ‘tipping point’ is and why that 1.5 degrees of difference really matters. Then, covering all aspects of everyday life – from the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the way we travel and even the way we celebrate – Laura gives practical advice on how we can live more sustainably and reduce our impact on the environment. Many of the ideas are simple, free, and can be put into action without disrupting our current lives too much.
