The world is  changing  fast. Money is pouring into the green revolution as it sweeps across our globe. This isn’t just economics – it’s  Environomics.

Across industries such as energy, food, fashion, technology, manufacturing and finance, businesses are innovating; governments are taking action; technology is advancing; commercial opportunities are emerging; and  our  long-formed consumer habits  are shifting – sometimes at a dizzying pace.

But what exactly is happening, how quickly, who is driving it all – and what does it mean for us?

In this fast-paced and eye-opening book, award-winning broadcaster and economist Dharshini David follows the course of an average day to tell  the real story of the green developments taking place  all around us, from the  clothing we wear and the food we eat to the  way we consume energy.  

Full of surprising facts and new perspectives, this book shows that  what we do  now will affect our everyday lives for decades to come. Economics helps us to understand our world.  Environomics  is going to shape our future.

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. Exploring industries such as energy, food, fashion, technology, manufacturing and finance, she asks what is happening, how quickly, who is driving it all – and what it means for us. Ranging from crucial issues such as sustainability and corporate greenwashing, to global flashpoints such as industrialisation and trade wars, she shows how even the smallest  details  in our day are part of a much bigger story about where our world is heading.  

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