The editors, Niki Harré and Quentin D. Atkinson, are both psychologists associated with the University of Auckland, whose interests in the area of psychological wellbeing have led them to tackle this issue. In Carbon Neutral by 2020 they begin with an introduction that looks at how a positive response to climate change can actually contribute to a fulfilling, meaningful life. The book is aimed at a general readership, both individuals and organisations, and it is hoped that it will be read by managers and employees in small and large businesses, people working in local government, community organisations, schools and tertiary institutions, as well as any citizen who is concerned and wants to do something positive. This is a timely, important book and a positive response to an absolutely critical issue from many of the best-informed people in New Zealand.
