Meet the Author: Richard H. Lawrence, Jr. Discusses "Carbon Done Correctly"

Join author Richard H. Lawrence, Jr., at Book Passage Corte Madera on Saturday, February 3, 2024, at 1:00 pm PT, as he discusses his latest book, "Carbon Done Correctly."

In the fight against climate change, the world cannot wait for some hoped-for perfect solution in the future. The crisis is upon us, and we need action now. We need as many different strategies, tools, and ideas as possible; and we need them working right away. We need an all-of-the-above solution. One such solution is the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM). The VCM is not the solution to climate change. But it is a solution. In "Carbon Done Correctly," Richard H. Lawrence, Jr. introduces the VCM through the lens of unsung heroes around the globe who are on the front lines of the fight against climate change. You will be inspired by the stories of the work that people are doing to combat climate change, and you will see how the VCM provides an essential tool in helping them, and other people in the future, continue and improve that work for the benefit of our planet.
