Orientation

Here is an overview of the road to zero carbon. From the starting gate to the finish line and all the steps in between. Does that seem like a lot to cover?

Let’s drill down further. Scroll around the posters below, and Please share your favorites on social media with #RacetoZeroCarbon. 

Start: Rules, Players Team

Before you embark on the Race to Zero Carbon, it helps to know the rules, and what your role is as a player.

The Switch

Are you ready to go ALL THE WAY to zero carbon? It’s a big switch. Before you can make the switch in your economy, you need to make the switch inside. This step explores your mindset.

Many people say they are ready to go all the way, and that’s great! Jump ahead to the plays. If you get overwhelmed, you can always come back to this step and explore your feelings and mindset some more. Indeed, we expect you to go back and forth between various plays and mindset exercises until you work out your preferred plan of attack.

For those who see no reason to go to zero carbon at all, jump ahead to the plays. See what it would take to get to zero, and what other benefits can be derived from such a journey. Your resistance to climate change may come from “solution aversion” and the only way to tackle that is to explore the solutions.

For those of you who are somewhere in between, you think decarbonization is important but aren’t ready to go all the way, spend a little more time at the switch point, getting in touch with your doubts and feelings.
