Live green without leaving the city!

Think you need a garden, a Tesla, or a cabin in the woods to live sustainably? Think again. Concrete Jungle, Green Home is your witty, no-guilt guide to shrinking your footprint from your fifth-floor flat, studio, or balcony overlooking the city bus depot.

This isn’t another crunchy survival manual. It’s a fun, practical, and slightly cheeky urban eco-guide packed with easy wins you can start right now. From balcony hemp pots that slurp CO2 (license permitting, lol) to composting under your sink without horrifying your flatmates, this book makes going green totally doable - and actually fun.

You’ll learn how to:

• Grow herbs, greens, and CO2-sucking hemp from a balcony or windowsill.

• Power down energy vampires and shrink your bills with sneaky smart-plug hacks.

• Compost in your apartment (with or without worms!) without the stink.

• Cut packaging waste without cutting your social life.

• Upcycle, freecycle, and thrift like an eco-ninja.

• Ditch climate guilt and join the hopeful, growing city-based climate movement.

Written in a fast, friendly tone with humour and hope (and a bit of hard truth), this book shares dozens of real-world eco hacks you can apply no matter your square footage. Author Gary J Byrnes blends personal experience, urban life hacks, and the mission of climate innovators like Tao Climate to show you how cities can be part of the solution, not just the smog.

Whether you’re an exhausted millennial in a one-bedroom flat, a retired legend reinventing your space, or a student on the 5th floor with a rebellious pathos, this book is for you.

Because the planet needs more balconies full of basil and fewer bins full of guilt.

Includes:

✔ 7 chapters of actionable eco hacks.
✔ Beginner-friendly compost and indoor gardening tips.
✔ Surprising ways to reduce your carbon footprint fast.
✔ Links for further reading, so you can nerd out if you want.

Join the quiet revolution of apartment-dwelling climate heroes. Let’s turn the concrete jungle into a green home – one worm bin, reusable cup, and hemp planter at a time.
