The book helps in understanding: The grim situation of climate change.The causes and consequences of humans' anthropocentric nature.Waste hierarchy and waste management.Circular economy and its benefits.The need for a sustainable lifestyle. The Mother Earth untangles every aspect of climate change and makes you realize that there is no PLANet B.
