Why read it?

1 author picked Climate Worrier as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Colm describes his book as a ‘hypocrite’s guide to saving the planet’ and he is very honest about the contradictions in his own life as he tries to live sustainably.

He uses humour and storytelling to engage the reader and to help all of us feel overcome by the scale of the climate challenge to give ourselves a break and keep on going. 

From Tara's list on climate change and sustainability.
