The Carbon Footprint of Everything

An award-winning guide to reducing your personal carbon footprint, one dollar (and bitcoin) at a time.

First published in 2010, How Bad Are Bananas? was the first book to help readers reduce their personal carbon footprint every day. Now, internationally renowned carbon consultant Mike Berners-Lee is back--and this time he's tackling bitcoins and bananas.

This revised and expanded edition of How Bad Are Bananas? breaks items down by the amount of carbon they produce, creating a calorie guide for the carbon-conscious. With engaging writing, Berners-Lee shares new carbon calculations based on recent research, considers the impact of the pandemic on the carbon battle, and adds items we didn't consider a decade ago, like bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

Supported by solid research, cross-referenced with other expert sources, illustrated with easy-to-follow charts and graphs, and written with Berners-Lee's trademark sense of humor, the revised edition of How Bad Are Bananas?, like its predecessor, is destined to become a bestseller.

And bananas? They're still not that bad.
