Clean Development

The Millenium Development Goals, agreed to by every member country of the United Nations in 2000, call for the worldwide eradication of poverty and hunger, universal education, gender equality and huge improvements in health by 2015: two years ago!!

Can we do this without making the planet warmer?

Let's think big and imagine how we can confront the climate crisis in a way that is realistic about the other major problems that we face as a planet and as a species on it.

Clean Development ideas

Saketaram Parvataneni

I think to reduce greenhouse gas emissions we need to have more clean development solutions. An example of this could be to use products that can be recycled to reduce pollution which would help have better clean development. Another example could be to use electric cars to also reduce the amount of pollution on the Earth. Electric cars instead of cars that use gasoline could also help improve clean development on the Earth. A third solution for helping Clean Development could be to travel better and using less energy. Traveling better could be carpooling or taking public transportation or using a bicycle instead of a car.

I do like your point about having more electric cars because of their lesser effect on the environment but I don't think that is a good long-term solution. The process of mining the Lithium required to make car batteries is extremely harmful to the environment and then transporting it to the assembly plant is another way the process creates pollution. I think if we can find a way to recycle the batteries better and reuse them the whole idea would be a lot more effective. I think the most effective thing that you mention would be taking public transportation or carpooling.
