Decisions

Making a safe climate for the generations that follow us requires that we reduce our emissions to zero, at least at a steady rate, and by 2050. We can take five steps to deliver this change: understand our emissions; anticipate the moments when we take important decisions about big purchases; gather good information about the way we cause emissions in daily life; reflect on how our emissions trade off with other priorities; and re-think the main priorities and goals of our life. Living with zero emissions does not require misery, but requires restraint that can be life-enhancing, and the seed for new creativity and fulfilment.
