Think Big

Now that we see what our collective and personal impact is on the planet, let's think big!

What big and bold ideas do you have for reducing personal, community, country and even global carbon footprints?

Use this space to develop and discuss your big ideas! Who knows- maybe one of these ideas can be the next key solution to the global climate challenge!

Reducing our carbon footprints is a lot of work to do in a day. Instead, we could focus on one little part everyday to reduce our carbon footprints. Recycling and reusing every part of a material will help make the most of the material and preventing it from running out faster. For example, we can use recycled parts to make solar panels which in turn, use sunlight to produce electricity.  With this tactic, we are reducing use of fuels to power electricity and using the sun instead. Another idea is to use every part of a tree to produce more different types of products. For example, instead of cutting down one tree to produce paper only and throwing the rest of the tree away, we can use the leftover parts of the trees to make wood, mulches, medicines, fuel, and much more. This way, we benefit more from one tree than a bunch of trees cut down just to make one product only such as paper or toothpaste. We could reduce the amount of materials used to produce products w ith methods, leading to a decrease in our carbon footprints. As a result, there will be more available materials for other purposes and uses.

The biggest thing I can think of is something that sucks CO2 out of the atmosphere, splits off the carbon, and compresses it into diamonds for jewelry and tools, basically a mechanical plant that makes diamonds, which would greatly reduce the carbon in the atmosphere, and give room for us to reduce ur carbon footprints and slow if not stop global warming.

I think it is crucial to make an immediate change to the amount of CO2 our world is exposed to. As a community, We should try to find minimize the amount of CO2 sources or find more sustainable alternatives. We should also try to maximize the amount of CO2 sinks. Everyone on this planet has one thing in common, our love for Earth and we should work together to preserve our planet and keep it healthy.

Kevin: I just found this link of converting captured carbon dioxide into carbon nanofibers!
