In this PLANT CEO series special we speak with Mark Maslin, Professor of Climatology from University College London about his newly released book \'How to Save our Planet: The Facts\'. We are in the middle of a Climate Crisis and Mark explains what the real facts are. Find out what you can do as an individual and what companies should do too. We cover a large array of topics including deforestation, the need to speak up on climate changes, fusion energy, vegan diets, government subsidies going to fossil fuel industries, poverty and how much it will cost now to fix the climate crisis versus waiting until 2050.
