Climate Change Concerns PT 2: “Scrap loose change”


A controversial idea - to add iron to the oceans and ultimately, hopefully, suck carbon right out of the air - is making the rounds.

[“Seeding the ocean with iron has PROS and CONS”]

Fertilizing the ocean doesn’t sound as easy or as efficient as simple conservation, cutting back on goodies, living small, reducing spending, saving loonies or loose change in a jar, etc.


However, conservation has its controversies or problems as well. I mean, how does one shift two or three generations of people from “bigger is better” to “smaller is saner?”


How can one develop the habit of throwing loose change into a jar, or savings account, after years of living like a high roller?
