What We Can Do

This is the section for all the activities and savings that will make a big difference when others follow your example.
More important still is the way you build the market for renewables. It's no use waiting until PV solar or electric cars are economically viable. The market will not develop and so they never will be. Jump in now and your grandchildren will remember you with pride!
If you can write up your experiences it will be even better. A summary of the experiences of real eco-home builders, for example, will empower the government to legislate for every home to be energy saving.
Why not try to think of things that would not ruin the planet if everyone did them? For example the current enthusiasm for ethanol is destroying the rain forest. The growing use of wood chip furnaces has its limitations in the longer term.

Test your understanding with a prize winning simulation by Red Redemption. You are the President of the European Union deciding how to spend your resources to save the planet without bankrupting Europe.

Prove it works and legislation can follow.
