Environmental Summit Speaker Identifies Steps to Reduce Climate Change - New City, NY Patch
Coplan, co-director of the Pace Environmental Litigation Clinic, spoke Saturday morning at the summit at Clarkstown South High School in West Nyack about “Avoiding Lazy Environmentalism; Taking Personal Responsibility for Climate Change.”
...
The West Nyack resident recommended a personal CO2 budget of 4 tons in line with the world average to help reduce climate change. An 80 percent reduction would mean significant changes beneficial both for future generations and personally. His five suggested ways to reduce individual carbon footprints are: downsize to one car per family and walk or take public transportation; stop flying in airplanes and become a local tourist; turn down the thermostat at home; get rid of the TV, and eat less meat.
Have warmists Al Gore, James Hansen, Rajendra Pachauri, Andy Revkin, or Barack Obama done any of these five things? If not, why should I do them?
