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.

Fixing Major Issues WITHOUT Worldwide Consequences

hcl1610

Many of these issues do not necessarily require major effects to the climate crisis. Hunger and poverty can be helped locally rather than joining a worldwide effort to stop these issues. If most communities help each other within a community, it not only is a much less formidable task, but it can even achieve a more in-depth solution to this problem, with much less carbon emissions. The building of schools to assist in universal education may cause short-term carbon emissions, but it can prove to benefit the world in the long-term. With proper education, habits that are horrible for the atmosphere can be recognized and prevented. Gender equality goes hand-in-hand with education. If the culture evolves and children are educated at an early age that everyone is equal (this would also stop discrimination for race, religion, etc.), then this problem would surely be solved. Last is the health improvements, the most likely to cause carbon emissions. However, new technology used to help our health does not necessarily hurt the atmosphere. It could be a change for the better, wi th a more energy efficient way for humans to go about things as a possibility. These daunting tasks can be achieved with little climate change, if we keep the issue in the back of our mind as we attempt to stop them.
