African leaders capped their three-day #climate summit in Nairobi, Kenya, with a joint proposal for a global #carbon tax to fund the fight against climate change.

So, I may be a "doomsayer" (I consider myself a realist), but I'm always trying to see if there's a solution to getting us out of the mess we're in. Perhaps I would describe myself as an optimistic pessimist. Anyhow, based on my recent research, here are some of the solutions I think we (humanity) should pursue collectively...

1. Plug up the #MethaneLeaks! Seriously! That's a big part of the problem!

2. Make the price of #meat expensive! I remember when having meat was considered a special occasion -- not a daily occurrence.

3. Make things out of #RomanConcrete. Now that we've cracked the recipe, there's no excuse not to use it! Especially with rising sea levels (Roman concrete holds up better when exposed to water).

4. Manufacture stuff that lasts! No more #PlannedObsolescence or items that can't be repaired by a skilled user or a local repair shop!

5. Grow food locally! Turn empty #office spaces into #IndoorUrbanFarms (and #housing).

6. Utilize new (and ancient) technologies to the max! #SolarPrisms, reflective white paint, building new structures with #skywells, #geothermal and other ways to cool/heat spaces without using #FossilFuels!

That's just a few off the top of my head. I think a lot of the solutions are right in front of us -- but #greed and #Oligarchy are keeping them from being implemented!

What a great solution, #robots cleaning #solarpanels!

We can change, and we are changing regardless of what anyone wants to argue. We're making #history by running so much of our energy by renewables. #Americanrenewables #climatechangesolutions #renewables #renewableenergy

@thexylom so proud to have contributed edits and visuals to this important piece! #solutionsjournalism #climatechangesolutions

As I try to move more firmly away from the other place, I'm hoping to recreate the best parts of the other place here as much as possible.

I'd love recommendations for accounts to follow for #climate, #agriculture, #Colorado, #climatechangesolutions, #EnergyPolicy #arts and unexpected #comedy and #joy
