While its predecessor, \u201cThere IS a Planet B,\u201d makes the case for why such a transition is necessary, this guide is the practical roadmap for how to actually build it.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”green” text_direction=”default”]The book is structured in three major parts. Part I lays the theoretical and philosophical foundation, beginning with the core metaphor that Planet B is not a place to escape to, but a new operating system for human civilization. This system is designed around valid goals rather than the growth-at-all-costs logic that has driven humanity past seven of nine planetary boundaries. Key chapters introduce the seven foundational axioms of Planet B, expose the goal validity failures of current Planet A frameworks. including SDG #8, Economic Growth, and present a comprehensive system design spanning food, economics, governance, health, and education.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”green” text_direction=”default”]Part II serves as a personal transition guide, walking readers step by step through the individual journey toward vegan living, from understanding the PolyCrisis in personal terms to making practical dietary, lifestyle, and community choices that align with Planet B values.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”22px” custom_height_phone=”1px”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”green” text_direction=”default”]Part III is the Community Implementation Guide, focused on collective action. It introduces Hungerless, the initiative to make healthy, whole plant-based food freely available to every person as a community responsibility, and explores how neighborhoods, cities, and institutions can redesign food systems, economic structures, and governance from the ground up.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”green” text_direction=”default”]Running throughout the book are two signature concepts:<\/strong>
\na) AhimsaCoin<\/strong>, an ecological economic substrate where one coin equals one square meter-year of Earth’s productive surface, enabling communities to account for true ecological costs; and
\nb) Animal Guardians<\/strong>, a governance mechanism giving non-human species meaningful representation in community decision-making.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”green” text_direction=”default”]The book closes with a call to commitment, pointing out that the crisis is real, the PolySolution already exists in fragments around the world, and what remains is the collective decision to build Planet B now, community by community, one meal at a time.[\/vc_column_text][nectar_btn size=”large” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”regular”

Trained as an electrical systems engineer, Sailesh spent the first decades of his professional career working on the infrastructure of the global communications revolution. He then turned that same systems-level thinking toward a far more urgent challenge, the survival of Life on Earth.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”green” text_direction=”default”]He is the founder of Climate Healers, an organization whose research has provided some of the most rigorous scientific documentation of animal agriculture’s role as the leading driver of ecological collapse. He is the architect of the Planet B systems engineering framework, a comprehensive alternative Operating System for human civilization designed to address the full scope of the planetary PolyCrisis systematically. His books, including There IS a Planet B and A Guide to Planet B, present both the vision and the practical roadmap for a world built on whole plant-based Vegan food systems, ecological rewilding, regenerative economics, and multi-species governance.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”1085″ image_size=”full” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Grow In” animation_easing=”default” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”15px” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” delay=”0.1″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”80px” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” bottom_margin_phone=”25px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” content_layout=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”green” text_direction=”default”]He champions Hungerless, the initiative to make healthy, whole plant-based Vegan food freely available to every human being as a community responsibility, and AhimsaCoin, an ecological economic instrument that accounts for the true cost of human activity on the living world.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”green” text_direction=”default”]Sailesh’s work has been presented at venues including the Oxford Literary Festival and UN Climate summits.
