The task is huge, the time is short, the road is steep. Overwhelming concern more than fear or despair has left me fairly stupefied the past couple of years. I have found that I am gaining strength and momentum by posting and sharing on social media, particularly Facebook and Twitter. A friend got me on the radio to discuss it recently and that helped. 
But what has been a wonderful gift is this Eco-challenge. It has focused me and gotten me to dig into Project Drawdown in a way that I had not managed to do before. And it has pushed me to post on social media on a topic over a number of days, which is a great idea.

Time and advocacy is the role appropriate for me. It is a product that can be used by individuals and by public buildings and industry. It can be used for both heating and cooling. As the payback is 5-10 years, assistance in the initial investment would need to come from the public sphere to accomplish a widespread use.

Black carbon and other cooking fire emissions are second to only CO2 in trapping heat in the atmosphere and climate change tends to affect lower income societies disproportionately with floods and droughts. Also, inhalation affects health and life expectancy.
This matters for fellow humans to be healthy and more productive helps us all to deal with climate disruption. We will all be affected by the social and bio disruption that will spread to all countries and regions.

We need to bring palm oil production, first into a stabilized level of use and then back to sustainable. I can use fewer products that include palm oil and encourage government not to use it as a "renewable" fuel.
I have already stopped buying any garden products that are not peat free.

I have a bike that can carry a fairly heavy load that I am using frequently now that the weather has started to warm up. I test rode an electric bike and it is quite cushy compared to a mechanical bike. It starts up much more easily and somehow seems more stable. It definitely takes a lot less energy to ride and is very good for uphill.
However, my budget still says, "mechanical", rather than "electric", so I'm sticking to that for now. I am sue that I would use an electric bike more if I had one.
