Climate Positive

We can be climate positive. As carbon based lifeforms, we can breath, eat and sleep without contributing to the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. As people who can think, we can improve on that.

There are lots of amazing marvels of the human-created world, from production facilities to micro-chips to the cell phone, and all of these pale in comparison to the complexity and resilience and efficiency of natural systems. Should we feel bad about this? No! We can be excited about the possibilities contained in this revelation.

Factories pouring out smoke from manufacturing processes? Lets improve them to the point that they produce more, using less energy, and use the savings from those improvements to install wind, solar, geo-thermal, bio-mass and hydro. Homes leaking heat and sapping electricity? Save home-owners money by working together to retrofit homes, save money and re-invest in their own future.

I'm excited. I see a world of opportunities for growth and amazingness and pride in the ingenuity of people everywhere. We are only beginning.
