Want to make a real difference on climate change?

We’ve long been told that saving the planet means buying local, switching to LED bulbs, using less plastic and cycling more. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: no matter how much we cut down our individual carbon footprints, it won’t be enough to stop global warming.

It’s time to move past feelings of guilt, powerlessness and frustration. Instead of tweaking our lifestyle, we need to pull the levers that drive real change on a systemic level.

Enter the climate handprint – a bold, positive approach that helps you cut far more CO₂ than you personally produce. Whether at home, at work, or in your community, you can use your resources, skills, time, money and influence to create impactful change.

Introduce plant-based meals at your workplace canteen – saving dozens of tonnes of CO₂ per year. Get your company to install solar panels – saving hundreds of tonnes of CO₂ per year. Push your local energy supplier to switch to renewables – saving thousands of tonnes of CO₂ per year.

By shifting from carbon footprint frustration to climate handprint power, you’ll start making impactful changes and feeling better about your contribution to curbing the climate crisis.

Gabriel Baunach reveals how to move beyond small personal changes and start making a genuine impact – with strategies that are effective, empowering, and full of hope.
