Earth Day at 50: Have you met...Project Drawdown?


Not long ago, I was fortunate enough to attend a local CCL event that highlighted Project Drawdown - and I have been much more excited about our future since then.

Project Drawdown is a very comprehensive plan to slow down, stop, and reverse carbon release levels in the next 30 years. Essentially, they started looking at all of the top 100ish sources of earth-choking carbon release and looked at the best approach(es) to each. They list them in order in the Table of Solutions and they also divide them out into sectors in case you want to narrow it down a bit. (If you click only one link in this post, please make it the Table of Solutions!)




Find Transportation here (Woohoo! Bicycles top the list!)

One of the most eye-opening is Health and Education


(At The Smithsonian Earth Optimism Summit)

If you're a person who sees good stewardship of every blessing as a core value and goal for life, the Drawdown list is a spotlight letting each of us know how and where we can get involved and make a difference. If you're looking for some hope and direction in saving the earth for future generations, Project Drawdown is a great place to start.

( I was looking for an excuse to get the 1970 Earth Day poster in.)

As always, thank you for reading, friends! May you be well, healthy, and striving for better.
