I like how taylor put it in her first post people look at it as a form or "lent". If they were to really care about this situation than they would be a little more educated to know there are numerous ways to contribute to living sustainably. Just from reading everybody's posts it seems to me that we could all agree that people in general are not educated on the topic of sustainability. It isn't an easy topic therefore i requires effort which i personally think a lot of people don't care to put any effort into this problem because to them it has not become a problem yet because nothing drastic has happened.

Gaelan you are absolutely right sustainability is a lifestyle one that many aren't willing to take on. But like i have said before we need some way to show the world how truly important this is. We need to change our habits of living in order to make a difference and change the direction of where our world is headed. I think taxing CO2 and using that money towards developing sustainable energy sources is a great idea.

Erick you're right but how do we do that? In the video we watched cutting carbon emissions by 80 percent seem to be the number one suggestion. but the UN decided on doing that in a longer time span because it seemed more reachable. Yet we have history to look back on showing us we are extremely capable of attaining this goal in the time we need which i believe was 2014. I'm getting the years mixed up so feel free to correct me.
