How does the manual work?

Unlike most books on climate change this is a practical “how to” self-help book. It was inspired by Haynes car repair manuals and great cookery and gardening books. The manual is all about processes. Whilst it does cover what to do, it helps you more by looking at how to go about what for all of us is a very complex project. It provides:

• a process for clarifying your goals

• a process for measuring your personal pollution

• a process for highlighting priorities and deciding where to start

• a process for breaking down a complex task into bite size chunks

• a process for spreading these tasks over time to make them manageable

• a process for identifying and overcoming obstacles

• a process for getting others involved

• and processes for finding additional information, sources of support, and the resolve to keep going.

The outcome is a realistic and motivating plan specifically tailored to your situation, your constraints, and your opportunities.
