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.

Building Clean
The majority of CO2 emissions is located in developed countries. After the industrialization period, the amount of greenhouse gases emitted skyrocketed. We have built a country that thrives off of technology advancements, but yet we still use the same way of getting energy. There have been huge advancements in technology, but we are still burning coal to get energy. By using solar, wind, and tidal energy more often, we can discover new, more effective, less expensive ways to get the energy.
Its good to keep clean so others can have a clean earth
Sadly the countries that use the most energy still use the same means in order to power their bulidlings, factories and machines. These all cause a great damage to our environment but as long as a new and more effective means of energy is invented, humanity will still continue to use the same methods implemented today.
