Project Drawdown

Daniel Simons‘ profile of Project Drawdown in Earth.org offers a small glimmer of hope in an otherwise desperate situation.

Earth.org

Project Drawdown is one of the leading resource for information and insights about solutions to the climate catastrophe we’re speeding towards. “Every solution reduced greenhouse gases by avoiding emissions and/or by sequestering emissions that are already in the atmosphere.”

Solutions like seaweed farming. Seaweed is one of the most sustainable types of aquaculture. Expanding seaweed farming enhances carbon sequestration and boosts the production of biomass that can be used for biofuel, bioplastic, livestock feed, and human consumption.

Project Drawdown: 100 solutions to climate change

TED

Chad Frischmann’s talk offers an antidote to the pessimism and apocalypse fatigue associated with the problem of global warming, Project Drawdown.

“Drawdown is that point in time when the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere begins to decline on a year-to-year basis.” The project “is the most comprehensive plan ever proposed to reverse global warming”. They’ve gathered together “a qualified and diverse group of researchers from around the world” to find answers. They modelled the one hundred of the most substantive solutions to address the problems. The thing is, most of the solutions already exist.
