About this listen

Feeding the world, climate change, biodiversity, antibiotics, and plastics - the list of concerns seems endless.

But what is most pressing, what are the knock-on effects of our actions, and what should we do first? Do we all need to become vegetarian? How can we fly in a low-carbon world? Should we frack? How can we take control of technology? Does it all come down to population? And, given the global nature of the challenges we now face, what on Earth can any of us do?

Fortunately, Mike Berners-Lee has crunched the numbers and plotted a course of action that is practical and even enjoyable. There is No Planet B maps it out in an accessible and entertaining way, filled with astonishing facts and analysis. For the first time you'll find big-picture perspective on the environmental and economic challenges of the day laid out in one place, and traced through to the underlying roots - questions of how we live and think.

This book will shock you, surprise you, and then make you laugh. And you'll find practical and even inspiring ideas for what you can actually do to help humanity thrive on this - our only - planet.

This is a great book to give an insite into the problem of today's anthropogenic culture of convienve and comfort.
The audio book is well presented and was good to listen to.

This is a very well written book and the author did a great job narrating. I had found it difficult to gain a concise view of the environmental struggles we face as a global society until I listened to this book. Particularly eye-opening were the numbers highlighting the inefficiencies of consuming calories and macro/micro nutrients through ruminating, human-edible-food-fed animals such as cows and sheep. I have started to make a conscious effort to consume less meat as a result, mostly to help reduce the environmental impact of current practices through lower demand, but also because now I realise that alternative ways to incorporate protein etc. into my diet exist, which also happen to be more consistent with sustainable practices.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who would generally like to know more about the numbers behind the environmental challenges we face and how feasible currently proposed solutions are.

Eye/ear-opening!

Fantastic book for everyone to read. This should be taught in schools, universities and to our politicians.

This book is provides a well balanced and concise perspective on climate change and those avenues we can travel in order to mitigate the damages already incurred resulting from the industrial age and human progression.

Well worth a listen as Mike offers a ground, yet informed, view of what we and our nations can do to preserve the earth for future generations.

I love his book 'How bad are bananas' this is the next level to make all of that clearer with more stark data to make the net steps clearer on what we need to do with climate change and not to give up, but how to focus any climate work or political agendas. A great toolkit for anyone

Open, honest and clear reality with climate change

At last a book that explains a fact based approach to the challenges we face and the interconnections between the various elements

Great insights into global warming

This audiobook is delivered in a very clear way. I also found it is very hard-hitting at points. It was frightening how little my understanding on certain key topics was. For example the use of antibiotics in animal farming and how criminally wasteful and inefficient certain food productions are. I would recommend everyone listens to this as these are problems that are relevant to all of us even if we don’t realise it yet!

An excellent and easy to understand book on a fascinating topic

many lessons to be learned and prompts for self reflection and evaluation of how we live our lives and pointers for where we can all seek to make improvements.

a must read, for everyone on this planet

Audio chapters 9 and 10 are duplicates of text chapter 6. Otherwise, the book was very good and informative.

No chapter 7
