Princess Anne branded 'open and knowledgeable' by Countryfile's Tom Heap after meeting

The author admitted he is more concerned with the public acknowledging the progress that is being made in combating the issue.

In addition, he included a foreword by actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is equally passionate about sustainability and reducing carbon emissions.

“Tackling climate change essentially means changing the way society and our economy works, so that it is not dependent on burning fossil fuels, which is what it really has been pinned on for the last hundreds of years,” Tom commented.

“There is more than one narrative that needs to be articulated. The narrative of peril coupled with doom and gloom is important and is true, but it doesn’t work for a large section of the population and it isn’t the whole story.”

39 Ways to Save the Planet by Tom Heap (BBC Books, £12.99) is out now in hardback.
