Episode 21: How Bad Are Bananas?


Book Club, Episodes / Tuesday, October 8th, 2019

This week is the first meeting of the Climate Book Club, where I talk about “How Bad Are Bananas? The Carbon Footprint of Everything” by Mike Berners-Lee. The book is packed with the climate impacts of loads of everyday things, from text messages, to bananas, to the World Cup. I use the book to calculate how much carbon my husband and I saved cleaning out his parents’ house over the summer. And I talk about how we need a “BlacKkKlansman” for sustainability.
