The U.S.A. produces one fourth of human generated Greenhouse Gases with only 5% of the world's population. Unless we radically reduce our carbon emissions, predictions for environmental and social catastrophes paint a bleak future our children and grandchildren will have to endure. The cause seems hopeless, since so few Americans are invested in reducing their carbon footprint, while more developing countries are investing in emitting GHG as rapidly as they can capitalize.
Part of the problem is that the rewards of reducing are portrayed as long term, while the actions needed are seen as sacrifices. Actually, our energy intensive and dependent lifestyle causes obesity and is unaffordable for the majority of working class Americans. This book identifies the major sources of human generated GHG contributing to Global Warming, (GW) or Climate Change (CC), and reports on affordable, available solutions that will drastically reduce emissions. Systemic solutions for the seven systems that generate most GHG, our Military, Electricity generation and transmission, Construction and maintenance of buildings, Transportation, Health Care, Agriculture and Economic Inequality are proposed. These will really reduce GHG, and rapidly benefit the majority of the country by helping them save money and lose weight.
