Description

A sustainability expert goes beyond renewables, calling on us to combat the climate crisis with a new, low-energy way of life.

Concerns over climate change and energy depletion are increasing exponentially. Mainstream solutions still assume that some miracle will cure our climate ills without requiring us to change our energy-intensive lifestyle. But switching from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources isn’t enough. We need a Plan C.

In response to the converging crises of Peak Oil, climate change, and increasing inequity, sustainability expert Pat Murphy offers an inspiring vision of community and curtailment. Where cooperation replaces competition, we can deliberately reduce consumption of consumer goods. Plan C shows how each person’s individual choices can dramatically reduce CO2 emissions, offering specific strategies in the areas of food, transportation, and housing.
