The 2 Year Carbon Diet Continues

If we continue to fly, drive, eat, and buy in the same accelerated fashion we’ve been doing since the 2008 global economic downturn, we are almost certainly condemning our kids and grandkids to a climate that is hostile to human civilization (a global temperature increase of 2.5 degrees C by 2100).

What if, for just two years, we all decided we wanted to bend that arc away from the danger zone, by consciously abstaining from the actions we know are to blame?  I like milk products, but I am willing to quit my share of them for two years.  I would like to take my son to Japan someday, but I can hold on that until I can feel more certainty about whether it is possible to buy meaningful carbon offsets for the enormous carbon cost of that airplane journey.

Are there CO2-producing actions you could abstain from for the next two years to help give us a shot at bending that curve?  Why not try.
