Each problem is a bunch of slices in a pie chart. If we take a slice out with a solution we help solve the entire issue. Part of the problem is global warming and that’s due to a large amount of animal life and not enough vegetation to take in the CO² and give back oxygen.
Go Vegan. Less meat is fewer animals who produce body heat and gasses. Seriously. Raise more rabbits, farm fish and fowl and pigs organically in fields. Cattle are impractical now.
Spay and neuter your pets to make fewer unwanted animals that need resources that have to be manufactured while making pollution.
Discourage cut Christmas trees to keep more temperature modifying vegetation. Use potted trees that can be transplanted in the spring.
Grow crops for food and corn for ethanol to persuade farmers to keep fewer animals. It is working on the farms in Michigan.
Swap harvested polar ice lose in the ocean for goods from desert countries. Contact Congressional People Regarding this.
Urge other countries to harvest polar ice to keep it out of the ocean’s total volume and to keep their lakes and rivers flowing. Stop the ice from shifting by stopping up the runoff that is eroding the hold on the bedrock
Draw up oceanic water to desalinate for use on land for drinking and to stave off droughts due to warmer weather. This will help take up some of the rising coastal ocean levels. Suggest this locally where feasible. suggest this to cities govenments that could do this. Any one can write a letter.
Dry clothes on clothes lines and drying racks for apartments and city dwellers.
Require solar heating devices on new homes.
Adobe is eco-friendly as a building material and doesn’t require near the manufactured materials of a frame home.
Stop making US war planes since no one is near to us in readiness in the air. Turn the old plants into solar manufacturing places. (Stop selling war machines to other countries; melt down the materials to restock our supplies of metals, plastics, Etc.) contact Congress again or local recyclers who can petition for the contract.
Photovoltaics need to be used lots more. Cover roofs with them in all new homes.
Use Tromb walls in new buildings or retrofit old ones.
Make electric vehicles of all sorts.
Use crock pots instead of whole ovens for a smaller electric bill charge.
Eat more gelatin, grains, fruits and vegetables what don’t take hours to cook.
Use more candles to help heat rooms and use ceiling and other fans to spread the heat about for less draw on fossil fuels. Candle-making is a fun craft and a practical hobby.
Cover metal roofs with non-conductive materials to keep folks from cooking to death has already happened in France. (Saving people is a good endeavor, too.)
Paint building to keep them from reflecting heat back to the atmosphere.
Turn off some of the city lights. Vegas could cut their lights in half and still be seen from space.
Honor DNR orders. Allow terminally ill people to choose a dignified death by lethal injection.
Birth control on demand as we have all the people we need without unwanted ones being forced upon women.
Encourage birth control for all unmarried people of child-bearing age.
Encourage fruit and nut trees for food and cooling effects.Grow grape and other vines at home to keep your grounds cooler. Grow more local gardens to save on food hauling and for the good green effect of cooling the area.
Stay home more with family game night, books, music, rent-by-mail movies to use less fossil fuel in the vehicle.
Make home wells like the ancients. Bukisa.com has an article on building wells that way.
Use Roman housing ideas in new homes of atriums and fire pits centrally below the house to allow the heat to flow up channels to heat the floors and air.
Bring back personal hand fans for cooling; they are charming and low tech.
Just heat rooms you use most besides the kitchen. We sleep better in a cooler room anyway.
Lower the ocean levels while we can for desalination plants, and sea salt.
Fill pools with ocean water instead of drinking water.
Think up more ideas for yourself and publish them in newspapers and online.* * *
