Watch It Wednesday #21
Another great video from one of our favourite channels!
In the video above they investigate:
the nuances of the climate change problem
the relationship between emissions and poverty
the engrained reliance on GHG emissions to produce the food we eat
potential solutions and costs
and why the personal carbon footprint angle is overplayed
Their conclusion?
Vote at the ballot and vote with your wallet!
The only way to mitigate climate change is through massive systemic change. This requires voting for politicians with the will to deploy existing green technologies, invest in the fields where we don’t have good solutions yet, eliminate fossil fuel subsidies, and implement regulations that push companies to reduce their emissions. You can help drive the demand for these green goods and services by purchasing low-emission products wherever feasible for your wallet.
