The Carbon Creed: 7 Pathways to Zero

"The ultimate guide to decarbonize your life - personally and professionally."

“The Carbon Creed is a powerful and thought-provoking work. Change happens when your heart and mind believes in a cause….for me that’s enabling access to clean energy and digital as a basic human right. This book will help you discover your carbon truth.”

– David Owens, Senior Energy Industry Executive and Advocate

The Carbon Creed is not a book about the science of climate change, nor is it a policy brief. It’s not meant to scare you, though some data might. It is written to take you on a journey through the climate narratives nestled in your head and heart.

The book is based upon the seven (7) affirmations of the Carbon Creed:

• Ethics
• Mindset
• Kinship
• Science
• Habits
• Accountability
• Equity

The Carbon Creed will help you identify and adopt the beliefs, values, and practices that lead to decarbonization. As you read and meditate on the principles of the creed, your carbon conscience will emerge.
