018. Project Drawdown

Feb 1, 2019

Project Save the World loves Paul Hawken, the fellow who set a lot of researchers the task of listing 100 ways to reduce the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. They did a spectacular job, calculating the cost of various measures and rank ordering them in terms of effectiveness. Everybody in the world should read Hawken’s book, Drawdown.
