1. Methods are emerging for cost-effectively turning waste streams into energy. This addresses both the pollution issue as well as the energy issue. Every municipality should implement one of these myriad of approaches as soon as possible.
2.There are thousands of proven methods for significantly increasing fuel economy and decreasing emissions, which are being implemented on a grassroots level on existing vehicles.The auto industry should implement these from the factory. The shift toward hybrids and all-electric vehicles should also be encouraged and supported, which can be powered from renewable energy sources.
3.Clean energy technologies are arising that can replace fossil-fuel-based energy. Because these are increasingly cost effective, the market is likely to help expedite their emergence, first on the utility scale, then to a distributed level, then to a residential level, and eventually to an individual appliance level.
4.An earth stewardship consciousness is increasing, which helps foster the right awareness and motivation to help these emerging solutions move forward expeditiously.Foremost among the attitude shifts needs to be a dramatic reduction in the consumerism mentality.
5.In as much as a significant degree of global warming is caused by natural mega cycles that we happen to be in, while we might intercede with large scale deflection approaches, an awareness that cycles of death and rejuvenation are natural should be held in perspective. While we should cut back and reverse our contribution to greenhouse gases, and we might even deflect some of the effects of natural greenhouse emissions, we shouldn’t become too fixated on changing what may be a natural phenomenon.
