Time for action

What's my personal plan of attack to tackling global climate change disaster? I'm going to strike across three broad fronts and I'll give you some clues as to which one I'm tackling each time I put fingers to keypad.


My Good

Why? Personal choices on how we live, heat, cool, clothe and transport ourselves around drive the industries that produce greenhouse emissions. I want to make better (less carbon consuming) choices for my family and I.


Greater Good

Why? Climate change requires global, scaled action to make a measurable difference. This is where I'll add my voice to lobbying for greater change - from Government to Industry. I'll also include my research for greater awareness in this bucket.

Good Green

Why? Nature is a great sequester (which means to capture or contain) of carbon - when it's not cleared, polluted or stripped of biodiversity. I want to look at ways to make a positive impact on the environment in my own locality and I’m going to include all things gardening in this area (not my forte).

 

Every now and then I’m going to make some sort of brash generalisation. Like 'we' must change our ways and seek to mitigate as best 'we' can the pending climate emergency.

Let me take a little aside here and clarify to avoid offence.

There are a great many people in the world who are not rampant consumers of carbon. There are tribes and first nations people and others who live a low to no climate impact existence and have not contributed to the climate disaster the globe now finds itself in. There are those peoples whose lands are the first to experience the impacts of catastrophic climate events and who contributed the least to their arrival. When I say ‘we’, I’m generalising those human beings, living in industrialised economies, who are carbon consumers and therefore contributors, in some way, to our climate challenge.
