ARE YOU READY FOR A FRESH APPROACH TO OUR MASSIVE CLIMATE CHALLENGE?

• Curious about the climate compatibility of your choices and how to meet your needs in harmony with the planet?
• Doubtful that governments and big business will ever move fast enough?
• Perhaps you're fired up and willing to channel your frustrations, but you aren't sure if it's all just too little, too late.

If any of this sounds familiar, Decarbonista has your back! With a self-led approach grounded in expert-verified data, your footprint reduction adventure begins with a personal challenge: to tap into the innate wisdom of your head, heart, and gut to rapidly decarbonize your food, travel, purchases, home and finances in enduring ways that are right for you-your pace, your price, your priorities.

Footprint coach Ren?e LaPlante and climate tech co-founder Libby O'Loghlin draw on their years of on-the-ground CO₂ prevention programs as well as corporate and coaching experience to offer a DIY guide that bridges the gap between climate science and the everyday practicalities of personal emissions reduction. Their refreshing approach will help you identify where greenhouse gases show up in your unique life, while gaining clarity, resilience, and everyday decision-making skills.

Along the way, you'll:

• learn the background, the science and answers to "Why the urgency?" of our climate challenge
• find ways to identify where greenhouse gases show up in your unique life and your specific reduction opportunities
• grow your everyday decision-making skills for finding clarity and resilience through the noise
• create a footprint reduction roadmap and plan you want to stick to, and
• build confidence in yourself-and others!

Discover your lowest footprint life as we all take on the greatest challenge of our times!

This book challenges readers to embrace change, not as a distant political ideal, but as a deeply human and actionable endeavor. With warmth and clarity, Ren?e LaPlante and Libby O'Loghlin present tools and insights that make decarbonizing one's life both achievable and empowering, inspiring us to reimagine our role in shaping a sustainable world. A compelling and much-needed roadmap for everyone who seeks meaningful climate action.
