Our inefficient, carbon-based energy economy threatens to
irreversibly disrupt the Earth’s climate. Averting dangerous
climate change and the resultant crop-shrinking heat waves,
more-destructive storms, accelerated sea level rise, and waves of
climate refugees means cutting carbon emissions 80
percent by 2020.
The first key component of the Earth Policy Institute’s climate
stabilization plan is to systematically raise the efficiency of the
world energy economy. One of the quickest ways to increase
efficiency, cut carbon emissions, and save money is simply to
change light bulbs. For full report, visit the EPI
