And unless the monkey released the banana, it was stuck.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe are, of course, the stuck monkey, paralysed by our modern lifestyles and consumer habits: our constant stream of online shopping deliveries, our compulsive dependence on digital devices, our obsession with our\u003cbr\u003epets. These addictions, as small and harmless as they may seem, are quietly destroying the planet. And the eco-friendly alternatives that alleviate our guilt are often not much better. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eStuck Monkey\u003c\/i\u003e, James Hamilton-Paterson uncovers the truth behind the everyday habits fuelling the climate crisis.
