We have a common interest and that interest can only be served when we come together. Regeneration means putting life at the center of every action and decision. It includes how we live and what we do-everywhere. Regeneration is what life has always done, we are life, and that is our focus. It’s presented in the same attractive but slightly unwieldy format, halfway between a paperback and a coffee table book. Regeneration is an inclusive and effective strategy compared to combating, fighting, or mitigating climate change. Drawdown is one of my favourite climate books, an extensive study into the top fifty ways to reverse climate change, edited into an accessible and inspiring book by Paul Hawken. Our concern is simple: most people in the world remain disengaged, and we need a way forward that engages the majority of humanity. To the contrary, we praise and are grateful for all approaches. We do not oppose other strategies and plans. Paul Hawken, Regeneration: Ending the Climate Crisis in One Generation. Our approach to reversing climate change differs from other proposals. Research by Stanford neuroscientist Andrew Huberman upends the idea that beliefs determine what we do or what we can do. The most common question about the crisis is “What should I do?” How can a person or entity create the greatest impact on the climate emergency in the shortest time? Most people do not know what to do, or may believe the things they can do are insufficient. At this writing, we are going backward and increasing emissions. Ending the crisis means that by 2030 collective action by humanity will have reduced total greenhouse gas emissions by 45 to 50 percent. Ending the crisis does not complete the challenge of global warming. Our purpose is to end the climate crisis in one generation.
