ReplyJust ordered her book.
ReplyOn all sides, Africans are the suffering once, activists try to tell poor people to stop eating cooked food(to die) so that environment be safe.
ReplyI was just about to ask about this for a while. What happens with developing countries who’s Main source of income is that of oil or coal? Take Trinidad for example. I know for a fact that oil is there main natural resource I feel like in those cases what they need to do is yes give them a grant to help them transition to more renewable energy but also find another source of income like your tourism or here in Jamaica your food. you grow your food and the food itself is a renewable resource. But if the climate change is going on that would affect it majorly such as drought or even hurricane just destroy the crops. It’s a complicated issue but I think something along those lines along with the grants would help as well
ReplyGo gal

ReplyGreat interview
ReplyWonderful insights and ideas. Glad Time has recognized this admirable human.
ReplySadly Africa won’t be at the center, because what will be are false promises made by industrial lobbies who claim to protect jobs and interests, so change must happen, according to them, without costing them. And countries can’t lose competitive edge, so only will change, when others change more.
ReplyAll big companies have know for a long time, lied about it and must accept the consequences; entrepreneurial risk should mean, the worst offenders should be out of business and all funding go to green activists and start ups!
Because we only win, when everybody wins! Africa only can be helped when we think globally and glocally.
Fantastic interview.
ReplyLet’s put solar panels on every home, business and covered parking rooftop and switch to electric vehicles making nearly everything we do solar powered while completely decentralizing our power supply and empowering everyone as power generation owners.
Solar power is CHEAPER and electric vehicles are soon to be CHEAPER to make and already are considerably CHEAPER to maintain and operate, especially if charged from your own solar power.
A 3-5 year ROI (return on investment) for a solar array that will generate power for decades is a no-brainer and the panels can even be made locally too.
