Companies »CompaniesCompanies☜There are 100 companies responsible for 71% the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. They are without exception all oil and coal companies.The only way to effectively combat climate change is to rapidly and aggressively move away from oil and coal and towards renewable energy on all fronts using a diversity methods, with emphasis being placed on curtailing the emissions caused by the companies on that list.A large part of this must include eliminating the profit motive...☜59C6EF

●

Conservation »ConservationConservation☜Our region is already heavily forested but we need to make sure it stays that way by protecting public land and reforesting where possible. Areas that have been transformed from forests into agriculture, for instance, could be returned to lucrative forests (see mass timber) as opposed to grazing land (see diet).☜59C6EF

●

Diet »DietDiet☜Large institutions (state government, schools, big companies) should band together to eliminate food waste and reduce animal product offerings in their cafeterias and other supply chains.Government should allow animal-product substitutes to be marketed and sold in competition with the animal-based products. Regulations like those popping up around the country are just the dairy lobby et al trying to protect their business at the expense of consumers and the planet.Stop s☜59C6EF

●

Energy »EnergyEnergy☜Cascadia is already in a good position in terms of low-emission electricity generation thanks to our regions hydro resources. I think the region should aim to be zero emissions very soon. All coal should be shut down by 2021 and all natural gas by 2025. A mix of renewables and nuclear should be the replacements. Perhaps the most promising Gen IV nuclear tech company is already based in Bellevue.☜59C6EF

●

Transportation »TransportationTransportation☜High-speed rail should be encouraged or at least taken very seriously as an option. It stands to eliminate many emissions from flying and driving and will connect the region.Electric vehicles should be encouraged via higher gas taxes and the adoption of Californias fuel efficiency standards.☜59C6EF
