Solutions to Climate Change - Our Common Earth

Renewable Energy

Inexpensive panels from China are making solar energy affordable. Combined with wind farms and other passive systems, renewable energy is a promising alternative to fossil fuel use.

Restoring Ecosystems

Enhancing Biodiversity is a
natural way to sequester carbon
in ecosystems while producing
healthy food. Restored fields,
forests and grasslands create
spongy, absorbent soils that
reduce rainstorm runoff and return
wetlands to optimal function.

Carbon Fee and Dividend

Consensus is growing among business and fossil fuel executives, citizen groups and politicians that imposing a fee or tax on carbon emissions and rebating the revenues to American households is an efficient and revenue neutral way to battle climate change.
