Sustainable Future

In today's increasingly interconnected world, it is imperative that we grasp the urgency of addressing the future of our planet. The consequences of climate change and environmental degradation are becoming more evident with each passing day, and it is up to us to take action before it's too late. The Earth has provided us with abundant resources and a delicate balance that sustains all forms of life. However, human activities such as deforestation, pollution, and excessive use of fossil fuels have disrupted this balance, causing irreversible damage to our ecosystems.

Climate change is the biggest existential crisis that humankind has faced. In the last 100 years, we have ruined the carbon cycle using fossil fuels, namely coal, petroleum, and natural gas, to build our civilization, not taking into account the catastrophic impacts climate change can cause. Even though our lives depend on it, most of us don't know about the causes and how we will be able to tackle this existential threat. This book gives you alternative answers on what steps governments, companies, and individuals need to take.
