“Drawdown is based on meticulous research that maps, measures, models, and describes the most substantive solutions to global warming that already exist. It is the most important goal for humanity to undertake.”

Here is a link to a list of the top 100 Solutions to Reverse Global Warming.   All of it is so positive and hopeful that it’s well worth sharing.   Many of us are already aware of the direness of our global situation and because so much of the news we get is simply scary, it often generates a feeling of hopelessness in many of us. Perhaps it is that feeling of hopelessness that keeps people from doing the small things like replacing plastic bags with their own cloth bags at stores.

It seems critically important that we understand that it is NOT hopeless – that there are things we humans are already doing that can work if they are supported and expanded upon.

Here are just a few of the Solutions listed on Drawdown’s website that are related to gardening, growing food and permaculture – with the rating number and a link to the small article:

“The objective of the solutions list is to be inclusive, presenting an extensive array of impactful measures already in existence. The list is comprised primarily of “no regrets” solutions—actions that make sense to take regardless of their climate impact since they have intrinsic benefits to communities and economies. These initiatives improve lives, create jobs, restore the environment, enhance security, generate resilience, and advance human health.”
