Draft:Climate change 2
Actions to take
- Decarbonize energy - but this requires major tech innovations that might not come soon enough.
- For now, we could cut out most emissions by dealing with the biggest parts first, as shown below:
Passenger transport | Goods (non-food only) | Heating & cooling | Food | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Affects | 30% of all emissions [?]This section has not been filled in yet. | 31% of all emissions [?]This section has not been filled in yet. | 25% of all emissions [?]This section has not been filled in yet. | 4% of all emissions, [?]This section has not been filled in yet. but 90% of all habitat loss.

Personal actions needed |
Driving less | Frugalism | [RESEARCH needed] Insulation and heat pumps might help, but how does the energy saved compare to the environmental footprint of all the manufacturing & installation of it? [CASE STUDIES needed] | Plant-based food [see why]This section has not been filled in yet. , and not wasting food |
Collective actions needed |
Walkability | Stop planned obsolescence | [RESEARCH needed] Insulation and heat pumps might help, but how does the energy saved compare to the environmental footprint of all the manufacturing & installation of it? [CASE STUDIES needed] | Stop commercial food waste |
Actions are shown in bold.
