The Best Six Books on Low-Carbon Living
What is the good life, and how might it prevent the climate and biodiversity crises and, at the same time, make us happier? This is the beginning of an end. And it is a good thing. Never has the modern affluent world achieved so much. Never have its side effects been so destructive to the planet and to people’s health. And dramatic changes will happen soon, whether we choose them first or they choose us. My 2023 book, The Low-Carbon Good Life, is about how to reverse and repair four interlocking crises of climate, growing inequality, nature loss, and food-related ill-health. Across the world today and throughout history, good lives are characterised by healthy food, connections to nature, being active, togetherness, personal growth, a spiritual framework, and sustainable consumption. The climate crisis can be addressed by a combination of individual actions on consumption and political and public engagement. This list comprises the 6 best books on how to create new ways of just and sustainable living.
