Inconspicuous Consumption: The Environmental Impact You Don't Know You Have by Tatiana Schlossberg

3.0

While I do like this book, it's definitely entry level. It's a good place to start if you have no background or knowledge of sustainability or climate change. The author does a fantastic job incorporating her own tone and personality into the book, which I think a lot of environmental writing lacks and so desperately needs. However if you have any background at all, this book covers a lot of important topics but in a surface level / shallow way. For the most part, Tatiana is on the nose about the complexities of measuring emissions and how reducing them is not as simple as it sounds. There are some topics I had issues with, such as the grouping of nuclear energy with fossil fuels. Overall this is a great place to start if you're looking to get into the environmental movement. However, this really is nothing new in terms of environmental writing.
