It’s Not Too Late to Tackle Climate Change
That’s right, YOU.
But not just you. Me too.
And everyone we know needs to get on board fighting against climate change.
Why?
The Survival Guide for Humanity
A few months ago the UN released what they’re calling "a survival guide for humanity."
We have to get going, we have to move quickly, and we have to do it responsibly.
According to UN chief António Guterres, we need to take an "everything, everywhere, all at once" approach to climate action. And we CAN.
It may be challenging, no, it will be challenging.
Time to End the Whack-a-Mole Against Climate Change
But if we adjust, we make changes now, it will be better and safer and cheaper and less deadly than if we continue to take a whack-a-mole approach to dealing with climate chaos.
We are a creative species — we just need to devote our creativity and motivation in the right direction.
Now is the Time for Action, by You and Me and Everyone We Know
In every way. And you need to tell your people: your clients, your guests, your students, your residents, everyone, so they can support you as you work to tackle climate change.
It’s good for you, for your people, for the health of people and our environment. It’s spectacular for business, for everyone, today and tomorrow.
Now is the time to act, to recognize that our individual and collective actions have an impact
10 Key Solutions Needed to Mitigate Climate Change
Below I’ve included a gorgeous graphic developed by the World Resources Institute depicting the Top Ten Ways to Mitigate Climate Change.
Let’s start with the word mitigate, just to be clear. To mitigate is to make something less severe or unpleasant.
If, as the UN asserts, we still can mitigate climate change, we have every responsibility as a species to undertake those efforts earnestly.
We don’t even have to figure out what to do — they’ve told us.
We need to:
RETIRE coal plants
INVEST in clean energy & efficiency
RETROFIT & DECARBONIZE buildings
DECARBONIZE cement, steel & plastics
SHIFT to electric vehicles
INCREASE public transport, biking & walking
DECARBONIZE aviation & shipping
HALT deforestation & RESTORE
REDUCE food loss & waste & IMPROVE agricultural practices
EAT more plants & less meat
As the UN Secretary General tells us, “We don’t have a moment to lose.”
