What Can We Do For A Greener Planet?

Lowering Environmental Pollution. One way to reduce carbon emissions, is to put a price tag on it. A flat carbon tax. Cradle to crave. Cities are taken over by cars. Whether we are talking about climate change, global warming, ecological destruction, impoverishment of habitat, loss of species and ecological diversity, I suggest there is something that is clearly desirable. We are passionate about creating a cleaner, sexier planet. Cleaner meaning less toxic and with smaller health risks from disease and pollution. Sexier meaning healthier.

Trying to be green is an aspiration. Aspirational green

What are the disruptive technologies that can bring about such change?

What are some examples of working solutions? Is Jim Jannard, The Man Who Bought The Amazon Rainforest Jim Jannard, the founder of Oakley, and more recently of Red, purchased a large draft of rainforest in the Amazon a couple of years ago, a good example? He hired the local people back on the land to take care of it and no logging companies have cut trees since then.

Notes. High Tax on Paper. Why I Hate Paper. Encourage people to use electronic means of transferring information thus saving time and reducing bureaucracy. Why? It can get lost. Google Docs is everywhere with me. Typing is so much faster. Paper is bad for the environment. Text is searchable. Personally, all my books are on the e-reader. Wehatepaper.com. We can start a campaign on Facebook cause. Rise the cost of paper. Convince paper companies to make e-paper instead. So I propose a list of universities that do not use paper. At the moment there is none so we have some work to do. List of companies who do not use paper
