2nd version – Climate Change Solutions Discussion

Solutions! Once we know the Physical Science (the focus of this class) the ultimate goal is to find solutions! There is no single magic bullet out there – but rather LOTS of ideas afoot: Policy, Engineering, Business ideas to reduce waste, Zero waste life styles, Art Installations to get the word out, Protests, Civil disobedience, all ideas can span the: Individual, Institution, Community, State, Federal, or Global scales and we are likely to need them all – all hands on deck! Here are some options for you to choose from – to listen to, watch, or read -and summarize the most salient points to share with others in the class. It would be great if you also search for your own resources outlining solutions. https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vdGhlZXpyYWtsZWluc2hvdw/episode/Y2ZmMzFjYWUtZmE3My0xMWU4LTkyN2EtNjM1OWRmZDA5NmUx?hl=en&ep=6&at=1577148202029 https://www.ourweb.tech/realtruth-climate-panel/ https://www.drawdown.org/solutions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kudilj10H4E https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nFx8UKTyjEteYO87-x06mVEkTs6RSPBi/view https://www.evolved.energy/post/2019/05/08/350-ppm-pathways-for-the-united-states https://static1.squarespace.com/static/571d109b04426270152febe0/t/5f7e3da0bd65dc2941e03f43/1602108935616/350+PPM+Pathways+Florida+Report.pdf?utm_source=Our+Children%27s+Trust+Newsletter&utm_campaign=032709d5e1-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2020_06_01_10_49_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_4094e87487-032709d5e1-116190217 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAavDmyXY44 https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/02/podcasts/the-daily/biden-climate-agenda.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEHot7F_dnI Other of your choice (Make sure to include the link!)
