We can keep our eyes on the numbers but act with purpose. Start by cutting personal emissions—drive less, use energy wisely, plant trees where we can. Then speak up for policies that make clean energy cheaper and protect natural habitats. It’s a team effort: we protect the planet by staying informed and standing together for change.

I hear you. A fair carbon tax or price could push big shifts in industry and give people clear incentive to change habits. But even that needs a strong public voice. So the next push could be a grassroots campaign that gets folks to write to their leaders, demand those policies, and support clean‑energy projects in their own communities. When the people behind the numbers speak up, the big moves become inevitable.
