There must be lots of things we can do on an individual level to slow Global Warming.
There are lots of clever people here so any ideas?
I wonder about the following
1) If we paint roads and roofs white won't this reflect a lot of heat into space?
2) See
Terra preta Thread. This is one way we can all sequester a bit of carbon.
3) A ban on Office (and MacDonald's et al) Plastic plants (see my post in
What Bugs You thread suggesting a Terror campaign against PP).We all need to carry a bundle of nice big stickers which say
"This is a dead plant please grow a live one" something that sticks with industrial strength glue. Eco-terrorists could attack plastic plants everwhere with these stickers.
Plastic plants
cost CO2 and oil in production and don't give anything back.
Why do we need "perfect looking" plants anyway. They are fantasies, illusions of a green space.
4) Massive Greening of our cities. streetscapes, offices, rooftop gardens all spilling over with plants soaking up CO2.
Any other suggestions?
