Lots of translators spend significant amounts of time at home. So we can have all the more positive effect on the environment by making tweaks to our daily routine.

A multicultural reader of this blog, Luísa Borges, has just published ‘How To Do More For the Environment With a Little Help from Science: A Guide To Lowering Your Carbon Footprint, Improving Your Health, and Saving Money‘.

Borges follows the concept of marginal gains, which is successfully adopted in sports, to dissect all you do at home into small, easy-to-understand parts and provides evidence-based tips and hacks on how to make improvements to each one of them.

As a bonus, many changes can improve your health and, in some cases, save you money. Whether you’re just starting to make positive changes, or already living a sustainable lifestyle but want to further reduce your carbon footprint, this is a go-to guide.
