"The most powerful weapon we have is the ability to control our own carbon footprint"
As I learned more about climate change, my need to do something intensified
As individuals perhaps biospherism is the best we can do
Becyling - beyond recycling
Boycotts are an effective way to make companies pay attention to consumers. Example of Nestle.
Boycotts have been effective -- examples include forcing Body Shop to declare itself “animal cruelty-free” after a boycott and Nestle being forced to commit to zero deforestation policy
Carbon fee and dividend is the policy answer
Carbon offsets don't help
Civil disobedience isn't the step individuals can take
Converting people with facts wasn't working
E - Recommended Actions to Tackle Climate Change
Example of effective boycott: 1990 boycott against Nike for using child labor. Longer term impact - Nike “consciously jumping in” to be proactive on issues.
Example of success is England, where government was pressured into banning some single-use plastic items, and EU, where European Parliament passed law banning disposable plastic
Faith is taking the first step . . . MLK
Fear doesn't lead to change, it leads to guilt
From "environmentalism" to "biospherism"
Going green is not the answer
Personal reductions DO help to shift the culture
Saving the world is a fantasy for our egos
Since there is no silver bullet, personal change will be necessary
Strikes can have significant effect on policy-making since politicians will listen to the electorate
There were lists of things we could do - but they're proverbs, not solutions. They're things you do, they're not outcomes
We have met the enemy, and he is us
