We got ourselves into this. Here's how we can get ourselves out.

We know the problem: the amount of biodiversity loss, the scale of waste and pollution, the amount of greenhouse gas we pump into the air . . . it's unsustainable. We have to do something.

And we are resourceful, adaptable, and smart. We have already devised many ways to reduce climate change--some now proven, others encouraging and craving uptake. Each one is a solution to get behind.

In 40 Ways to Save the Planet, Tom Heap reveals some of the real-world solutions to climate change that are happening around the world, right now. From tiny rice seeds and fossil fuel free steel to grazing elk and carbon-capturing seagrass meadows, each chapter reveals the energy and optimism in those tackling the fundamental problem of our age.

Accompanying a major BBC Radio 4 series in collaboration with the Royal Geographic Society, 40 Ways to Save the Planet is a fascinating exploration of our attempt to build a better future, one solution at a time. A roadmap to global action on climate change, it will encourage you to add your own solutions to the list.
