We can't just bury our heads in the sand and hope someone else will figure it out or invent us out of this problem. There is no one-size-fits-all solution for climate change.
Collectively, we need to get informed on all of the issues, look at how we got here, and find solutions that will work for each one of us individually, and for our society as a whole.
Only by working together - each one of us making small changes - will we get through this.
Our hope is that you will use this page as a resource guide, and a place to start your journey towards a more informed and sustainable life.

Katherine Hayhoe
TED: The most important thing you can do to fight climate change: talk about it
How do you talk to someone who doesn't believe in climate change? Not by rehashing the same data and facts we've been discussing for years, says climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe. In this inspiring, pragmatic talk, Hayhoe shows how the key to having a real discussion is to connect over shared values like family, community and religion -- and to prompt people to realize that they already care about a changing climate.

TED- Earth's original inhabitants -- and their role in combating climate change
Every environment on the planet -- from forested mountaintops to scorching deserts and even the human gut -- has a microbiome that keeps it healthy and balanced. Ecologist Steven Allison explores how these extraordinarily adaptable, diverse collections of microorganisms could help solve big global problems like climate change and food insecurity -- and makes the case for getting to know Earth's original inhabitants in fascinating ways.

Decisions made and actions taken today will shape the world of 2100
Since the 1850’s our planet has been warming because increasing human activity has been putting a blanket of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere.
That insulating blanket must be drawn down to mitigate the destructive impact of global warming. Easier said than done, but there are solutions.
The planet’s population was 2.3 billion when I was born in 1937 and wild, open space was 66%.
Sir David Attenborough, who has so ably documented our planet, is 94. He and I started extensive worldwide travel in the 1960’s.
Now, 60 years later, the population has exploded to 7.8 billion and open space has shrunk to a mere 35%.

Build a giant solar farm in the Sahara and power the world? Here’s why that could end up hurting the climate
Article By: Benjamin Smith PhD + Zhengyao Lu PhD
Published: May 13, 2021
The world’s most forbidding deserts could be the best places on Earth for harvesting solar power, which is the most abundant and clean source of energy we have.
Deserts are spacious, relatively flat, rich in silicon — the raw material for the semiconductors from which solar cells are made — and never short of sunlight. In fact, the 10 largest solar plants around the world are all located in deserts or dry regions...

Chanté Davis, a 16-year-old New Orleans native, knows that climate change is urgent and personal. In 2005, she and her family evacuated right before Hurricane Katrina decimated their hometown. They settled in Houston, where, over the past decade, she’s lived through several more storms, made stronger and more dangerous because of the rapid warming of the planet. In 2019, Davis joined the Sunrise Movement, a youth-led climate action organization...

Interview Climatologist Michael E Mann: 'Good people fall victim to doomism. I do too sometimes'
Article by: Jonathan Watts
Posted: Sat 27 Feb 2021 11.00 ESTLast modified on Mon 1 Mar 2021 04.31 EST
Michael E Mann is one of the world’s most influential climate scientists. He rose to prominence in 1999 as the co-author of the “hockey-stick graph”, which showed the sharp rise in global temperatures since the industrial age. This was the clearest evidence anyone had provided of the link between human emissions and global warming. This made him a target. He and other scientists have been subject to “climategate” email hacking, personal abuse and online trolling. In his new book, The New Climate War, he argues the tide may finally be turning in a hopeful direction...
