Three Things to Help Heal the Planet is published by Welbeck. You can buy it here or your local bookshop
I know the air I breathe is polluted, that the fish I eat live on a diet of plastic, that a coat I don’t need shouldn’t cost £30. But for a long time, I didn’t know what to do about it. Not for want of information - I was drowning in news reports, opinion pieces, podcasts, Instagram posts - but for want of direction: endless debate and contradictory solutions, if indeed solutions were offered at all. What if I could get the scientist, activist or entrepreneur - global experts in their fields - to categorically tell me three things that, through collective action, could slow down the rate of greenhouse gas emissions from the food industry? Three things that, if tackled as a community, could reduce air pollution. Three things to make our wardrobes more sustainable.
Three Things to Help Heal the Planet is my non-fiction debut published by Welbeck - a collection of essays on how to collectively tackle the climate and ecological crises when directed by global experts. You can buy it here (or, even better, your local bookshop).
I wrote, commissioned and edited 21 essays from: Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr OBE, Tamsin Blanchard, Dr Gail Bradbrook, Catherine Chong, Jona Christians, Melissa Hemsley, Khandiz Joni, Eshita Kabra-Davies Juliet Kinsman, Rosamund Kissi-Debrah, J.B. MacKinnon, Jennifer Martel, Dr Imogen Napper, Christopher Raeburn, Claire Ratinon, Alasdair Roxburgh, Jonathan Safran Foer, Dr Emily Shuckburgh OBE, Tristram Stuart, Lucy von Sturmer and Tessa Wernink.
What the experts said about Three Things
“We may be on different stages of our sustainability journeys but we can all help one another: inspiring and motivating each other; sharing knowledge; and using our spending power to vote for a better future for everyone. Three Things makes it as simple and as easy to sustain as possible.”
“I’m thrilled to be part of this project as there’s nothing I love more than sharing stories that might inspire a (low-energy) lightbulb off in people’s minds, demystifying something complicated such as carbon emissions, and talking about what can seem technical or geeky in a light-hearted or upbeat way.”
“Three Things is a wonderfully inspiring and educational provocation to readers, brands and industries alike; above everything the book is asking us to think differently and look for better solutions. At RÆBURN we’re all about positive change so contributing to this wonderful book is a real honour.”
