The first ever research on shifting to an economy that consumes greenhouse gases was released in April 2017.

As well as listing 80 current, commercially scalable action opportunities, Project Drawdown’s first report included 20 high-potential “Coming Attractions”.

Some of those future possibilities are quickly moving toward reality. Just in the past few months I’ve spotted:

Living Building plans announced for “The World’s Most Sustainable Shopping Centre“
Developing options for Building with Wood ““Super wood” sports the strength of steel“
Ocean Farming moves afoot with “Seasteading: Come for the Algae Bacon, Stay for the Freedom“

Check out the 17 other exciting “Coming Attractions” on Project Drawdown’s Solutions page: www.drawdown.org/solutions

The increasing number of ways we can describe the solution side of sustainability can confuse some people – however it creates a wealth of ways for different groups to get involved.

A common thinking pattern is “more is better” – the best way to solve a problem is to add something more to it. So the answer to traffic congestion? Traditionally, it’s been “Build another highway…” However, the evolution of smarter technology is changing all that.
