How Bad Are Bananas?: The Carbon Footprint of Everything by Mike Berners-Lee My review: goodreads.com/review/show/2798454781 * *my review here seems to makes the opposite case to in this video re: synthetic clothing but only because Mike Berners-Lee takes an opposing approach and glosses over the ills of plastic as his focus is specifically on carbon production (in use of the item it seems). Whereas I feel synthetics are the most appropriate for some things and least for others, but he didnât seem as anti-natural as Natalie Fee seems anti-synthetic.

HOW DO I GET THE BOOKS?! Just leave a comment saying which ones you want! Iâll pick a winner at random.
WHAT IF I WANT MORE THAN ONE? Ask for as many as you want. (Not multiple copies of the same one though since I only have one spare copy for some of them.)
WHY THESE PARTICULAR BOOKS? Because I was the illustrator or a contributor in each of these.
WHEN WILL I KNOW IF THE BOOKS ARE DESTINED TO BE MINE? Iâll post a video one month from now saying if you destroyed the competition through sheer luck and intense wishing.
WHAT IF I DONâT LIVE IN THE UK? This book-love knows no boundaries! Iâm happy to send the package internationally but once itâs dropped off at the post office, it is, quite literally, out of my hands.
I HAVE OTHER QUESTIONS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN ADDRESSED BY THIS RUDIMENTARY Q&A! Ask away in the comments!Vlog 02 // thanks & work (APR 2021)nicole is here to learn2021-04-28 | Thanks @ClaireReadsBooks & @jenvcampbell ! đâ¨
