What’s the climate impact of a Google search, a return trip from London to Hong Kong or having a child?

Climate change is something that everyone is talking about. We know how it works and what it is doing to our planet. As individuals, however, do we really know exactly how we are contributing, and, more importantly, in what way can we make changes in our day-to-day lives? The newest edition of How Bad Are Bananas? (the first was published in 2011) is one of the most informative, impactful and surprisingly intriguing books that I think I will ever read when learning about carbon footprints and the real impact of each thing I have done, bought, ate, drank, attended and used – the list here stretches on and on.
