About The Book

Why might an orangutan care which toothpaste you choose? What does your mobile phone have to do with wind turbines? And can your morning coffee really power a bus?

Economics affects every aspect of our lives, from the clothes on our backs to the bread on our tables and the fuel in our cars. And there are huge changes afoot as the global green revolution sweeps across the globe.

In this vibrant and eye-opening book, economist and broadcaster Dharshini David follows the course of an average day – from the moment we flick on the light in the morning – to reveal the green changes that are already taking place in every aspect of our world. From sustainable materials and corporate greenwashing to industrialisation and global trade wars, exploring industries such as energy, food, fashion, technology, manufacturing and finance, she shows how even the smallest details in our day can tell a bigger economic story.

If you’ve ever wondered what green issues really mean for your day-to-day life, this book is for you.
