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 didn’t seem as anti-natural as Natalie Fee seems anti-synthetic.

Wonder if anyone noticed my glasses changes? 🤓 (I’m testing out lenses and, since I have them, I thought it’d be funny to randomly switch them throughout the video because stupid things make me giggle.)

HOW DO I GET THE BOOKS?!
Just leave a comment saying which ones you want! I’ll 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?
I’ll post a video one month from now saying if you destroyed the competition through sheer luck and intense wishing.
WHAT IF I DON’T LIVE IN THE UK?
This book-love knows no boundaries! I’m happy to send the package internationally but once it’s 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!
Now that we are 1,000 strong(!!?!), let me know if you’re interested in a giveaway and what kind of thing you’d be interested in 🎊
