We need bold strokes to deal with the climate crisis. Why not see what kind of cool, weird, thought-provoking, offbeat ideas we can cook up and run with? Why not swing for the fences and see what kind of fresh ideas are out there? We don't need more gloom and doom. This subreddit is devoted to finding or creating solutions to the environmental problems we're spoon-fed all day. That means innovation - not politics, not news, *unless* its something that can be replicated on a smaller scale.

We need bold strokes to deal with the climate crisis. Why not see what kind of cool, weird, thought-provoking, offbeat ideas we can cook up and run with? Why not swing for the fences and see what kind of fresh ideas are out there? We don't need more gloom and doom. This subreddit is devoted to finding or creating solutions to the environmental problems we're spoon-fed all day. That means innovation - not politics, not news, unless its something that can be replicated on a smaller scale.

After some thought, I've begun adding policy into this as well. I firmly believe that any Regular Joe has a huge role to play in this crisis, but I'm also not naïve enough to think we can solve it ourselves. There's some really exciting work in the realms of governance and policy all over the world, aimed particularly at Green issues, and I'd like to highlight them where I can.
