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.

If we stop using water so long, then we will help our planet. We need to take shorter showers and with cold water, because cold showers can help save energy and warm water will use more energy.

While it is true that this is a good step we can take in the direction of stopping climate change, I believe there is much more we can do. To effectively take impactful steps to a better future, we need everyone on board, most importantly big corporations and world leaders. We need the people and corporations in power to recognize the crisis we are in, and we need to get them to make changes that will actually help us. To do this, we need to continue to fight for what we, and our world needs. I believe that the ones contributing most to climate change are the ones to blame. There should be regulations and rules to ensure a more environmentally friendly future. To truly fight climate change, everyone needs to do everything they can, from big to small.

Yes, one way of improving the environment and improving the health of people is clean cooking. Clean cooking could reduce pollution from burning wood or coal from regular stoves and protect human health if around 43% of families would change from traditional stoves to clean cooking. Billions of people around the world cook by polluting fuels which emit plumes of smoke that cause significant health impacts and premature deaths. Actions that need to be aggressively implemented are clean cooking technologies such as liquid petroleum gas, advanced biomass stoves, stoves that heat with solar energy, ect. Clean stoves reduce greenhouse gas emissions by increasing thermal efficiency or ventilation. Unfortunately for the economy, carbon dioxide equivalent emissions can be reduced by 31.38–76.34 gigatons at a net first cost of $136.64–302.76 billion. Clean cookstoves raise cooking operating costs by $1.96–4.38 trillion over the stove lifetime because many families collect fuel for free.
