‘The ultimate guide to decarbonize your life – personally and professionally.’
The Carbon Creed is not a book about the science of climate change, nor is it a policy brief. It’s not meant to scare you, though some data might. It is written to take you on a journey through the climate narratives nestled in your head and heart. Along the way, you will begin to answer the fundamental question: What do I believe? You may think that’s a simple question, but I assure you it’s not. What would other people say you believe about carbon and climate? What vibe are you sending in word and deed? Do you virtue signal, engaging in moral grandstanding to impress others? Or do you live your truth whether you get accolades or attention or not? Does it depend on who’s in the room? Living your carbon truth is more than a label. It’s more than donating to a worthy cause or being named at the top whatever list. What you believe about climate is your carbon creed.
The book is organized around the seven (7) affirmations of The Carbon Creed:
- Ethics
- Mindset
- Kinship
- Science
- Habits
- Accountability
- Equity
As you read and meditate on the principles of the creed, your climate narrative will emerge.
Cover Image: The abstract image features seven connected circular shapes that symbolize each step in the creed pathway. These organic forms, inspired by waterdrops, intersect and flow together to demonstrate the connected nature of our beliefs and actions with the environment. It invites you to consider your carbon truth.
