The Carbon Diaries


The Carbon Diaries, a two-book series written by Saci Lloyd, begins in the year 2015. Rising temperatures and environmental disasters cause the UK to make a drastic change- carbon rationing. In an effort to lower carbon emissions, each citizen is given a carbon card and is limited to 200 points per month. This limits how much fuel and electricity you can use and has far reaching effects on everyday lives. This pre-apocolyptic fiction novel, told through the diary of Laura Brown, a london teenager, is a scary possibility of what the future might hold.
