An empowering and practical handbook for young changemakers who
want to save the planet! Published in collaboration with the
prestigious Earthshot Prize, featuring an introduction from HRH
Prince William and contributions from environmental activists
including Sir David Attenborough, Christiana Figueres and Shailene
Woodley. 'Our planet is the only home we have, and we must think
big and dream bigger if we are to protect it.'- HRH Prince William
The mission is simple: to repair our planet. Our home is in
trouble. The good news is we can fix it - but we need YOUR help. So
let's put our heads together and dream up ways to BUILD, CREATE and
SHOUT about solutions to repair our planet. In the Earthshot
Handbook for Future Dreamers and Thinkers, young readers will
travel round the world, celebrating the diverse and rich habitats,
amazing animals and wonderful landscapes that make up our planet.
They'll learn about the problems and challenges facing those
habitats. They will meet Earthshot innovators, entrepreneurs and
game changers from the past and present from Wangari Maathai to
David Attenborough. And importantly, they'll discover how they can
become the changemakers of the future, helping to develop solutions
to the world's biggest problems. Because even the smallest idea or
Earthshot, has the power to change everything. Full of simple
practical things young people can do or make to help save the
planet, even from home, as well as big ideas and contributions from
people around the globe, this is the ultimate handbook for future
innovators and activists who want to make a difference.

The Earthshot concept is simple: Urgency + Optimism = Action. We
have ten years to turn the tide on the environmental crisis, but we
need the world's best solutions and one shared goal - to save our
planet. It's not too late, but we need collective action now. The
Earthshots are unifying, ambitious goals for our planet which, if
achieved by 2030, will improve life for all of us, for the rest of
life on Earth, and for generations to come. They are to: * Protect
and Restore Nature * Clean our Air * Revive our Oceans * Build a
Waste-Free World * Fix our Climate EARTHSHOT: HOW TO SAVE OUR
PLANET is the first definitive book about how these goals can
tackle the environmental crisis, from rainforests to coral reefs,
via wilderness, cities and in our own homes. It is a critical
contribution to the most important story of the decade.

As Prince William, founder of The Earthshot Prize, said, 'The Earth
is at a tipping point and we face a stark choice: either we
continue as we are and irreparably damage our planet, or we
remember our unique power as human beings and our continual ability
to lead, innovate, and problem-solve. People can achieve great
things. The next ten years present us with one of our greatest
tests - a decade of action to repair the Earth.' The Earthshot
