At last - a book about the changes we need to make that is funny, energetic and full of joy – rather than making the reader feel sad, guilty and disempowered, Isabel encourages us to enthusiastically embrace every single way ordinary people can care for our planet and enrich our lives while doing so. Written in short chapters for busy people, this book doesn’t describe the reasons why we are in the situation we’re in but goes straight to all the ways that every day consumers can make a difference. Her aim: to change how we live and work, travel, shop, eat, drink, dress, vote, play, volunteer, bank – everything.
Isabel believes the way to approach these vital life adjustments is wholeheartedly, energetically and joyfully. She takes us with her as she plants trees in the Highlands of Scotland, invites us to enjoy the expected human connection that a power cut brings and to ponder the dilemma of long haul flights. Along the way, we sit in on an interview with Riverford Organics founder Guy Singh-Watson on the ups and downs of supplying groceries ethically, join Isabel an emotional roller-coaster of campaigning with Extinction Rebellion and hear what the CEO of her green energy supplier is really doing for the environment.
The Joyful Environmentalist is the most positive of books about the environmental crisis – instead of instilling panic, the reader is assured that there is plenty they can do and that their efforts really will make a difference. And, as with all Isabel Losada books, this is the only book on Climate solutions that will make them laugh while also inspiring them.
Isabel Losada is the bestselling author of six previous books including The Battersea Park Road to Enlightenment (over 100,000 copies sold). As an author Isabel uses a unique mixture of story-telling, memoir and humorous non-fiction which has won her a loyal readership. She remains firmly committed to narrative non-fiction and swimming against the tide. Isabel lives in London.
