Natürlich wollen wir alle die Welt retten, nur ist das im Detail leider etwas freudlos. Lokale Produkte aus dem Bioladen schmecken zwar besser als Industrieware und Plastiktüten sind schon aus ästhetischen Gründen eine Zumutung. Wenn man aber konsequent klimaneutral sein will, bedeutet das eine radikale Lebensumstellung, was schnell zur neuen Öko-Religion wird, mit der man vor allem den Mitmenschen auf den Geist geht. Alexander von Schönburg ist dennoch überzeugt: Es muss möglich sein, angenehm und doch halbwegs ressourcenschonend zu leben.
