You are coming around to the fact that climate change is now a climate crisis. You also hopefully are thinking there are some good opportunities out there. You’re pondering what to do. You become aware of the plethora of solutions. Hmmm, what to do you wonder?
Many have been tempted to blame others, but you must recognize and accept that you share
responsibility. Taking responsibility gives you agency. You can make a difference. Making a difference provides meaning. New circular models are needed. Some are being developed. You might be able to contribute. You can use recovered materials as raw materials. You can make your product easier to recycle. The possibilities are only limited by your imagination and will.
Focus on who you are and what your purpose is. Decide where you want to go and how you want to get there. Build your own management system using the guidance in this book. You may think this guidance is just another solution for my benefit. I intend to help others – my clients and you. Also, all royalties from book sales will go to fund a charitable solar project in Africa that I am supporting. The guidance in Smart Climate Moves is a framework to help you. Each chapter of this book, from Chapter 3 onwards, builds a part of a Climate Action and Resilience Management System (CARMS®). When you finish the book, you will have your own CARMS® to use. A blueprint tailored to your organization with your Smart Climate Moves.
Bonus: Smart Climate Moves comes with a code for some freebies available at https://greensky.ca/.
