The Converging World: How One Community's Path to Zero Waste is Helping Save Our Planet - John Pontin
An inspiring story about the power of sustainable development and community action. The book describes how John Pontin and his Converging World program developed a groundbreaking system that connected the English village of Chew Magna with the community of Tamil Nadu in South India.
The program deployed wind turbines in Tamil Nadu, reducing fossil fuel use while providing a sustainable source of local income. The carbon credits generated by the wind power were sold at Chew Magna, where they helped individuals and businesses offset their emissions. As a result, Chew Magna moved towards zero waste, and Tamil Nadu saw a significant reduction in carbon emissions and poverty.
The book offers an inspiring model for anyone who wants to promote climate change prevention, environmental protection, social equality, and the situation in developing countries.
