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.

I think that with future development, and the rise of urbanization in the world, we need to start thinking about making urban areas more green. If humans continue pumping CO2 and other green house gases into the atmosphere as we are now, then we are going to be in serious trouble. One way to help mitigate, and slow this down is by increasing the amount of CO2 that drawn back into the earth with the carbon cycle. If we stopped deforestation, and started having urban garden and planted things all over all the cities of the world then there would be much more CO2 being pulled back into the earth, helping us in our fight with global warming, and would make urban areas prettier and more sustainable as we could grow plants on them. What do you think?

I wholeheartedly agree to this idea. Cities should be able to create rooftop gardens even when there is no more room on the ground. This way, if all the roof tops are covered with green, we are basically moving the plants that were originally there  a couple hundred feet up. On top of that, to solve more problems, due to invasive species, these rooftop gardens should only include fauna that is natural to the area. This can help the dying number of bees and monarch butterflies.

I agree with your statement. We need to make our cities a lot greener. This isn't a very hard task either. If we groups groups of people from their own community to plant more plants and tree, it could help the world a lot. We should also plant trees that produce food. So we are helping out the Earth and gaining more resources for food.
