When "How Bad Are Bananas?" was first published in 2009, the world was just beginning to grapple with the concept of a carbon footprint. Mike Berners-Lee, the visionary behind the World Wide Web, set out to educate us about the importance of prioritizing our actions and recognizing the impact of seemingly insignificant choices.

From Twitter to the Cloud, Bitcoin to electric bikes and cars, even space tourism, Berners-Lee runs a thoughtful eye over each domain and provides us with the data to manage and reduce our own carbon footprint. He also encourages us to lobby our companies, businesses, and government to adopt sustainable practices.

What makes Berners-Lee's findings particularly surprising is their clarity and even entertaining prose. He presents the data in a way that is accessible to everyone, making it essential for us to address climate change. By understanding the impact of our choices, we can make conscious decisions to reduce our carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future.

In conclusion, "How Bad Are Bananas?" is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the impact of their choices on the environment. Berners-Lee's insights are essential if we are to mitigate the effects of climate change and create a more sustainable world for ourselves and future generations.
