Our Profitable Greenhouse Solutions
(Work
in Progress, This is a working document.)
Aims of this project
are to:
- Help develop a culture that makes energy waste
and unacceptable activity (as is being done with water), and focuses
attention on improving the productivity of energy use.
- Encourage students to explore the variety of ways
human activities are altering nature and increasing stress on ecosystem
- Recognize how individuals can “shift to a low-carbon
future in order to avoid dangerous changes to global climate”
- Explore ways in which we can develop a personal
carbon constrained lifestyle
- Help students to realize that “protecting the climate is not costly
by profitable”
- To suggest financial incentives for individuals
and business
Preliminary / Possible
questions for the students
- What prevents the community from shifting to a
low-carbon future to avoid changes to global climate and what could
be done to provide a financial incentive?
- What do people need to know about the problem of
global warming and how should that information be presented to encourage
them to develop a personal carbon constrained lifestyle?
- Does the hole in the ozone layer pose a problem,
and if so what should be done about it?
