Mark and his wife have lived much of their working lives in India, living with poor neighbours who struggle to survive day to day. The Delaneys have continued this lifestyle of voluntary simplicity for two decades. Their experience has given them a very different perspective on life.It is these unique perspectives which allow father Mark and co-author son Tom to see afresh the climate crisis to which many in the West are blind.
