The Hook.

In a perfect world, the problem of climate change would be recognized and prioritized by everyone. Governments, industry, NGO's and private citizens would unite globally to solve the problem. Unfortunately, we don't live in a perfect world. Activism is necessary. Voting is necessary. Donating is necessary. I am hopeful, but those things take time. We can have tangible results right now and it doesn't cost a dime.

Our goal is to slow climate change right now. We are not waiting. We are doing our part and reducing our emissions by 10%.

The Backstory

June 2025. I was frustrated with my inability to effect change. Beyond voting, I felt I had no power to create a better place for my grandchildren and future generations across the planet. With war, famine, politics, and climate, I felt helpless. Voting once every two years or standing on the corner with a sign was not enough. I could have given up, but I did not.

I realized that slowing climate change can be an individual sport. I did not need to seek permission from anyone. I didn't need to ask my partner or my senator. I didn't need to wait for government policy. I did not need to wait for technology to fix things. I had the power to reduce my emissions RIGHT NOW. And MY ACTIONS matter just like my vote in a democratic society. I wanted to share that good news with others. This website and movement are the result of that passion.

P.S. My grandchildren will be alive in 2050 and 2100. Hopefully there life won't be consumed by the impacts of climate change. Hopefully they will know I did all I could to slow climate change.

Just David

I am just a goofy old white guy trying to do the right thing every day. I drive an electric car, I limit plane travel to one trip a year, and work hard to not buy anything new. If I spend money it is with local businesses.

I am an engineer and an educator. I have been teaching the basics of climate change and renewable energy to about 1,000 students each year for the past 15 years. I love teaching. No, I am not a climate scientist. The basics of climate science can be taught and understood by everyone, thanks to the work of climate scientists in studying and modeling this complex phenomenon.

I do have a few people helping me with text editing, formatting, giving honest feedback, and checking my data. They are also my emotional support. You know who you are. Thank you.

DI not AI

This website does not include anything generated or summarized by AI, (except the one calculation table). The content, design, and formatting of the website, were put together by David Intelligence (DI) and other HI (Human Intelligence) contributors.

Like AI, David used Google and other search engines to find information on the website. Unlike AI, I do the hard work of finding credible sources. I have years of teaching climate science and renewable energy. I understand the biases and nuances of the issues and can separate the wheat from the chaff. I also created original content for this site; my own ideas, something AI cannot do.

I welcome any fact-checking on this site. Send me a note (bottom of the home page) about what I got wrong and list the original source of your information. (Not to be snarky, but I am not looking for your opinion. If you don't like the content, find another website.)
