About The Book
How to save the world
This book was created to fill the gaps with what exactly is happening to our environment, why each of the many different but related issues are happening, and most importantly providing clear, pragmatic and cost-effective solutions to get the planet back on it’s sustainable cycles. Working in the environmental sector for over 15 years and observing all of the conversations, lobbyist, literature and action plans, it has become apparent that many people have a partial understanding of the bigger picture but nobody had really put all of the pieces together into one clear piece and then provide a roadmap on how to correct the individual but related issues we are facing. This book is the ultimate book if you are looking for solutions to the extreme climate change issues we are currently dealing with, business plans is you would like to money while helping the environment as well as simple things you can do in your daily life to save money while helping complete the change we need to get past this climate crisis.

Book Chapter
Section 1 frames the problem and the targets: Paris Agreement goals, five-year milestones, and where emissions actually come from (transport, power, industry, buildings, ag).
It also highlights time-buying “cooling” ideas: controllable space sunshade and a faster, rough “orbital debris” barrier, both meant to cut incoming solar energy.
Section 02 defines the streams (household, food, e-waste, biosolids) and why proper handling matters for health, ecosystems, and sinks.
Two-front plan for ocean plastics: stop inflow via river interception and clean existing gyres; profiles The Ocean Cleanup.

What’s Our Readers Say’s
Finally, a climate book that trades slogans for schematics. If you manage city heat, waste, or grids, this reads like a working manual you can act on Monday.
As a philanthropy lead, I appreciate the clarity: problems mapped to buildable projects, such as trees and cool pavements, as well as wetlands, all with costs, timelines, and measurable outcomes. Exactly what funding needs.
