Learn And Share What People Can Do To Help Prevent Global Warming



On November 17th I listened to an interview with Paula Poundstone's on Mother Jones Radio that provides some very interesting information about what actually gets people to do something to prevent global warming

According to Paula, research shows people are more likely act to undo global warming if the things they are supposed to do are public and visible to others.

I was very encouraged when I heard this because I had come to a very similar conclusion a few years ago.

I had watched a movie called "A Force More Powerful," which is a PBS documentary about successful non-violent mass movements in the 20th century.

After watching the documentary it seemed clear that all the successful mass movements consisted in large part of individual and collective actions that were highly visible to the public.

Given this I could use your help showing people how they can prevent global warming by taking visible action...

Would you please use the comments field below to share with me and the rest of the ACoolerClimate.com subscribers the answer to the following question:

What visible and public actions are you involved in, or do you want to be involved in, in order to help prevent global warming?



Adios,


Nathan Brown

P.S. Once you post your comments they'll be publicly visible to everyone who sees this page ;-)

I almost break in tears reading young people's comments who got real concern than the old ones. In Philippines, yes it is. It feels like old ones who does't care are only thinking of themselves, not the future generation. SO SAD!!! But we will continue to encourage more people (OLD and YOUNG).. Because the responsibility to save this whole world is in everybody's hand.

I've been walking to work and eating organic local grown food for the last four years.. I can't say I've done much else for the environment. I'm just beginning to understand how important each of our actions are for humanity's future. I'm hoping to volunteer in helping plant trees in LA area. Please let me know more information on what public actions I can take part in in order to do my part.

...OR you all can face the consquences of global warming, like receiving skin cancer (every one of you) because of skin exposure to UV radiation by the sun because our ozone layer was eaten up by greenhouse gases.

I am 14 yrs. old but i think i am more aware about global warming than those people who were older than me.Here in our country,the philippines,they made many commercials about global warming,how to prevent it and on how global warming affects us.I have watch also a show entitled "signos" where it shows how our environment revenge to people now a days on different part of the world.That's the day that i think the media is more aware that the government about global warming.

Hi my name is Brittany Cooley.I am eleven years old, but I really care about the Earth's future.I know that their are a ton of people out in the world who care more about what they look like.I used to use at least one can of hair spray a month.Due to that I think people should stop caring about their hair and start caring about your great grand kids future on the earth.

i believe the government also should help to prevent global warming because they have the power to control and uncontrol certain things that will prevent global warming. For us, in our own simple ways we can prevent global warming by being aware with it and reading and involving ourselves with the issue.

Let us unite to prevent global warming. Don’t be selfish. We must concern to the next generation. Global warming is not to scare of instead we can prevent it not to happen. YOU can make a difference. Pray and take action. GOD BLESSES US.

in the end global warming will come, but we can do a lot to prevent it from happening now. as long as we keep releasing carbon dioxide into the air it will keep adding to global warming. im no professor on the subject but the way i see it, if we can change the whole planet so it uses renewable energy sources, the kind that dont pollute our planet then global warmimg will never happen, but this is very very unlikely and is why i say global warming will eventually come, and as for the fact that we have not yet found a way to harness these types of energy to their full extent. So the best we can do for now is stop global warming in our own way, and if we can hold out until they find a way to use renewable energy sources succesfully and the whole planet changes to these types of energy we will be fine... lol i make it sound so dramatic ;P
