100 solutions to reverse global warming
Summary
We must know that global warming is a long-term rise in the average temperature of the Earth's climate system. It’s provoked by the increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases caused by human activity.

We think that we have to do something immediately.

This time, the speaker’s idea is really interesting. He suggests to reverse it and to know about the word Drawdown.
To reverse is moving backward and overturning. Drawdown is a new way thinking about and acting on global warming and the point is in time when atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases begin to decline on a year-to-year basis. It means to take out more than putting into.

Furthermore, he suggests 100 solutions to reverse global warming and surprisingly, our food system has been that eight of the top 20. It means that changing decisions we make every day about the food we produce, purchase and consume is one of the most important to reverse global warming. Why can’t we change it?

Producing food too much and wasted food are always emitting astounding greenhouse gases.
From the beginning, preventing food waste leads to solving lacking food problem, cutting down forests, infertile lands, and emitting gases.
If it’s with reducing the estimated global population, it leads to reducing demand for electricity and saving the cost.

We have to think Drawdown beyond sustainability towards regeneration.
