Practical Sustainability in Disruptive Times, Corey Glickman and Jeff Kavanaugh

Earlier this year my colleague Simon Cocking reviewed the book Practical sustainability, circular commerce, smarter spaces and happier humans. Written by Corey Glickman and Jeff Kavanaugh, the book shares specific examples and case studies as well as reinforcing the concepts outlined by the authors. Ronan talks to Corey and Jeff, about the book, practical sustainability tips and more.
