Abstract
In this paper, I seek to establish that what the consequences of climate change are, which
activities contribute to it the most, what types of resources are being used to carry out these
activities, and who participates in these kinds of activities the most. I will gather this information
from census data and peer reviewed experimental results. Based on these assessments, I will then
propose three solutions: 1. Adjustment of physical aspects of the environment and structure we live in, including
the use of bike paths, passive solar architecture, and hexagons in construction.
2. Implementation of a carbon tax to curtail carbon dioxide emissions and prevent
resource exploitation by corporations.
3. Installation of a universal “solar grid” that utilizes the most efficient solar technology
in order to provide a clean, sustainable source of energy.
