Catastrophic Climate Change: We Caused It; We're Going to Have to Fix It.
Don't Give in to Despair
The 'gloom-and-doomers' might want to make you give up. In my view, although I think we're in for
a rough ride for the next 30-50 years, I believe we have the smarts and ability to fix the mess we
have made. If I did not, I would not have spent my time putting this site together for you.

Drawdown (2017) says we're not doomed, and includes
a wide range of actions we can take to avert the worst that
catastrophic climate change could bring our way. (Online, visit
Drawdown.org.) There are other sources for things you can do to make
a positive difference going forward. However, the key is that you have to act, and not leave all the heavy
lifting to others.
Your planet. Your future. Your call.
If you're looking for some less intense and more personal things to do to reduce your GHG emissions contribution,
check out the calendar with a tip per day. It's cool to start slow and small.
It's not cool to not start.
