A Plan to Save the Planet by Glenn Weinreb is a fascinating research-based book on how to do exactly what it says- to save the earth. This book consists of Weinreb’s ideas on how to live in a more “green” way, using political and capitalist influence to help reduce the number of Carbon emissions into the atmosphere. He acknowledges that he understands Carbon’s attractiveness to make a profit. This is the perspective Weinreb takes as he covers each excuse people use against being more “green” while presenting it in a research-based way that is easy to understand. Overall, this book is an excellent look into saving the planet by cutting down on Carbon emissions using real-life examples and potential solutions.

For the most part, this book was an exciting read, but I felt that some of the statements made could make people who may disagree with the ideas in the book less receptive. For example, in the first few pages, the author writes that people who don’t support decarbonization “believe it is unimportant or prefer someone else to be inconvenienced.” When writing persuasively, statements such as this can harm one’s argument, especially if the reader is offended from the beginning of the text.

Despite this, I think there were some great points made throughout. These points are so successful because Weinreb supports them with graphs, data, and other reliable sources of information. I think this book would be an excellent read for people passionate about creating a greener world by reducing carbon emissions, as well as educating those who may not be as passionate about it.

A Plan to Save the Planet: How to resolve climate change at the lowest cost and in a way that is politically feasible is an informative book covering an important topic that affects everyone. The author has presented his findings in a way that the average reader can understand, and will not need a degree in science to understand the process he has laid out. I recommend this book to those who want to make a difference and, as the title says, save the planet for future generations to come.
