Almanacs have been around since Benjamin Franklin, and even in the age of the web, they serve a useful function.

“In it together”

My publisher announced it this week. You can check it out and pre-order it here.

Our new project

7th April 2022

Our new project, The Carbon Almanac, is now inviting supporting partners to join us. We are all volunteers and we're focused on offering institutions a chance to amplify the conversation about climate change. (Partner organizations don't have to be large, simply committed to help).

This is the reason The Carbon Almanac needs to be part of the conversation at ordinary companies like Hilton, for typical employees like the hard-working person who is the customer of the hard-working person who designed the bottle in the first place. Because one person designed one item that ended up being reproduced a million times, frustrating hundreds of thousands of wet people in hundreds of thousands of showers and then producing countless pounds of toxic carbon released into the air.

Intentional design (and complicated systems)

Because the book is complete, coherent and represents a moment in time. Because a book can create a conversation and an event. Because we hope you'll buy three.

Who will you share it with?

Something magical happens when people are in alignment and an idea becomes a bestseller.

Bestseller energy

The all-volunteer Carbon Almanac is a #1 bestseller precisely because it gives people a chance to know what they're talking about. It's an almanac with more than 1,000 sources, so you can look up anything that seems surprising.

When they don’t know what they’re talking about…

The Carbon Almanac was an Amazon Editor's choice, a Do Lectures top 100 choice, a bestseller in every country it has been released in and ideal for anyone over the age of ten.

Books for your solstice

It's easy to be confused, but it's not that difficult to understand. It's all in the almanac.

Confusion and delay

The best time to begin is now. Start where you are. Don't wait for authority or a manual.

Evenly distributed

The metaphor is powerful because it teaches us that we all benefit from having a community orchestra in our lives. The 1900 people who worked together on The Carbon Almanac were all volunteers, showing up when they could, working together to build something important.
