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 energy

One of the biggest contributors to climate change is the fossil fuels that most of us use everyday to heat our homes, power our cars, and to cook our food. This is something that is so important to fix. Something that we can do is to start using alternatives to propane gas. There are lots of alternatives out there for using propane gas, such as biodiesel, electric powered vehicles, natural gas vehicles. To heat your home there are also lots of alternatives such as geothermal power, which is very cost effective and works very well. Solar power is also another alternative to heating homes, that is so much better for the environment then gas. There are so many other solutions to heating your home in a different way, and they are not all exponentially more expensive. We should all be trying to find ways in our lives to find alternatives that will work for us for cars, heating, and all of the other appliances used in our household in our daily lives. It is hard to make an immediate switch from your old gas powered car to a new electric one, but start small. Look at how these alternative solutions will effect you and your carbon footprint. This small switch might seem like it is unnecessary and not doing a lot, but it will  impact so much if we all do our part to try and lower our carbon footprint.
