EMISSIONS REDUCED BY 75% AND LOOKING TO DO MORE

Here is a wonderful story from one of my newsletter readers showing what can be done with good energy management and it has all been funded from the savings they made by reducing their carbon emissions.  There was no up front capital outlay for great environmental sustainability.

“By 2000 Marion and I had already cut our emissions by 50% at no cost to ourselves. Now we have cut those reduced emissions by a further 50% again at no cost to our selves.

That will be a 75% reduction in the last decade. All at NO cost to ourselves.

Beyond that we need the support of car manufactures. What we need is to be able to buy a Hybrid plugged into our house main and charged by our solar panels. Thereafter we will be nearly sustainable. And all funded from our sustainable savings.
The so called Climate Change issue is really three things.

• One increasing world population.
• Two our increasing standard of living.
• Three our destruction of the environment.

That combination is not sustainable.”

I (Jean) agree completely with this!  We are living way beyond our environmental means and if we continue we will inevitable have a crash.
