World issues is a big topic, and there’s so many of them. One of the reasons I’m drawn to it is because when they’re solved they have the ability to help lots of people.

Other than myself, this book that I’ve written has not been read and there has been no formal release of it. It’s free to read and 10 pages in length. 10 pages was something that I limited myself to so that the book didn’t go overboard and could address each issue in a condensed manner.
In most environmental blogs or books that I’ve read, most manage to focus on the issues rather than the solutions. One of the only books I’ve seen take a real focus on the solutions is ‘Project Drawdown’ by Paul Hawken. This book covers around 100 potential solutions to climate change within its pages. Inspired by ‘Project Drawdown’, this book takes a focus on the solutions whilst also highlighting some of the challenges that are being faced this century.
