Overview

Our world is changing. Fast. Idyllic summer holidays are being disrupted by bushfires bearing down on holiday hot spots and smoke blanketing major cities. The increased intensity and frequency of storms are causing record-breaking flood levels, washing away major highways, livestock and food crops and even entire towns. Our rate of biodiversity loss is the highest it's been since dinosaurs became extinct. Glaciers and polar ice caps are melting at an increasing rate. And our food system is on the brink of failure. That's the bad news. The good news is humans have caused these changes to our world, and humans can fix them by changing the way we live. But that change needs to start NOW. How do we change, though? We've all got jobs to juggle and mouths to feed. The number of hats we're wearing means we're already feeling like we're stretched to our limit. In Sustainability in the Suburbs, environmental engineer and multi-award-winning sustainability educator Laura Trotta will show you that you don't need to give up your favourite comforts and move to a commune in the hills to save the planet. You can start right now. In your own home. In the suburbs. You can start small and build from there. It doesn't matter how small you start; it just matters that you do. Sustainability in the Suburbs offers hundreds of ideas to get you going. So let's do this. Together. For our world.
