Drawdown
Drawdown: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to Reverse Global Warming | Paul Hawken
The 100 most substantive solutions to reverse global warming, based on meticulous research by leading scientists and policymakers around the world In the face of widespread fear and apathy, an international coalition of researchers, professionals, and scientists have come together to offer a set of realistic and bold solutions to climate change. One hundred techniques and practices are described heresome are well known; some you may have never heard of. They range from clean energy to educating girls in lower-income countries to land use practices that pull carbon out of the air. The solutions exist, are economically viable, and communities throughout the world are currently enacting them with skill and determination. If deployed collectively on a global scale over the next thirty years, they represent a credible path forward, not just to slow the earths warming but to reach drawdown, that point in time when greenhouse gases in the atmosphere peak and begin to decline. These measures promise cascading benefits to human health, security, prosperity, and well-beinggiving us every reason to see this planetary crisis as an opportunity to create a just and livable world.

This should probably have been a bail, as I skipped a lot that weren't relevant to my situation. However it did have some good information for me, so 2 1/2 🌟.

TheAromaofBooks Sometimes with practical nonfiction you just have to skim for the bits that actually work for you. 4y
keithmalek Avoid books like this at your peril. Look what just happened the other day. https://medium.com/the-haven/iceberg-bigger-than-your-mom-breaks-off-greenland-2... 4y

While I'd rather be reading some amusing fiction, I feel that as a citizen who uses and probably abuses a lot of earth's resources I should get a grip on what we can do to change things.

So some think #🏝📚 is something to read at the beach. However if we can't stop climate change we may no longer have beaches tomrwad on. #emojino #nov📚📷or

jpmcwisemorgan My sustainability book club is considering this for one of our upcoming reads. 6y
LibrarianRyan It's interesting. And well done I think. But it also acts more as a coffe table book than an in depth study. 6y

Just grabbed this one, in a friend's recommendation. Really curious for the chapters on household sustainability.

Happy #independentbookstoreday, Littens! How great is my local indie? They're also celebrating the #climatemarch by displaying Paul Hawken's DRAWDOWN.
