We got ourselves into this. Here's how we can get ourselves out. We know the problem: the amount of biodiversity loss, the scale of waste and pollution, the amount of greenhouse gas we pump into the air... it's unsustainable. We have to do something. And we are resourceful, adaptable and smart. We have already devised many ways to reduce climate change - some now proven, others encouraging and craving uptake. Each one is a solution to get behind. In 39 Ways to Save the Planet, Tom Heap reveals some of the real-world solutions to climate change that are happening around the world, right now. From tiny rice seeds and fossil fuel free steel to grazing elk and carbon-capturing seagrass meadows, each chapter reveals the energy and optimism in those tackling the fundamental problem of our age. Accompanying a major BBC Radio 4 series in collaboration with the Royal Geographical Society, 39 Ways to Save the Planet is a fascinating exploration of our attempt to build a better future, one solution at a time. A roadmap to global action on climate change, it will encourage you to add your own solutions to the list.

A comfy suburban home, a life filled with love and a large, happy family. Not such a big ask—is it? Dawn Burton is happy with her high heeled shoes, movie nights, and a social, city hairdressing career. She even tolerates her overbearing mother. But all that fades into oblivion when a handsome farmer sweeps her off her feet. With stars in her eyes and dreams of new beginnings she leaves the bustling streets of Auckland behind for her new country life. Except that driving a truck, tending injured wildlife, and rising at cock’s crow to feed demanding, four legged creatures, were complications she hadn’t anticipated. While she struggles with loneliness, a minefield of complex personalities and a tragic loss, relief comes from an unexpected source – the developing bond with her mother-in-law, Alice. Dawn quickly realizes that all choices have consequences. As she rises to the challenges, her love for her husband and country life deepen. But when a series of crises befall the family and a long held secret is exposed, Dawn finds her world once more shifting under her gumbooted feet … Who would have thought a field of lupins could provide the key to happiness?
