Happy Earth Day, Short Wave listeners. Over the last six months, we've received many questions from you all about how to take action on climate change — in your households and communities. So, we consulted two folks who have been thinking about this deeply for over a decade: Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac, two architects of the 2015 Paris Agreement. They offer their personal action plans for reducing your carbon footprint..
Its Earth. Not mother earth.
Our mothers, MotherNature & MotherEarth team up to reduce pollutants on EarthJusticeDay by quarantining our fragile species, using a tiny, but more robust organism. Use 1/2 your gas savings for greening!
TM_Eubanks We r 60 plus yo couple. Years ago I called my hubby Al Gore because he was recycling in the 70’s. Frugality and not buying into marketing fashion hype. I re use ziplock bags. I know- you can do it you wash them in soapy water. Go figure ? Plastic is bad for the planet don’t buy
You can watch the new documentary Planet of the Humans. It demonstrates how earth day has been co-opted by the oil & gas, logging, banking, auto and other industries:
FUCK THE PARIS AGREEMENT- YOU GOT BILLIONS OF INDIAN AND CHINESE DRIVING CARS, BURNING FACTORY CHIMNEY SMOKE WITH NO EMISSIN REGULATIONS.... NOT TO MENTION: CHINA ORGANIZES TOURS TO ANTARTICA ON A DAILY BASIS.... IS THAT IN THE PARIS AGREEMENT?
Go vegan
Did the architects fly in on private jets?
Climate. Change. Is. Not. An. Individual. Sized. Problem.
vote out climate change deniers for a start
Turn the 100 corporations responsible for the majority of pollution and ecological contamination upside down and shake the shit out of them until enough money falls out to pay for what we need to avert complete climate disaster?
Individual action will not change a thing. We need to change collective behaviors. Governments and corporations must change.
Uhh earth has been around more than 50 years
I would get rid of the worst virus. DemocRATs...
