His new book is The Day The World Stops Shopping: How Ending Consumerism Saves the Environment & Ourselves. which explores what would happen if the world stopped shopping, with examples from recent history, including the pandemic.

We also talk about why our level of consumerism in the West is the biggest cause of climate change, and how we need to be talking about it a lot more.
