What if every discipline took a hard look at its impact on climate change? What if every person could step on a climate change scale and were instantly handed a book with the perfect diet for their body type? What if we could make it accessible for people, in masses around the world, to understand their impacts and make it easy for them to change? What if instead of counting your steps you were counting carbon? And what if by doing this, you could make the world a better, greener place? The way we can evolve as a species is by learning from our behaviors and adapting them. To learn this knowledge calls for the need to measure—understanding where we've been and changing how we go forward. But that takes time, which is running out. So, we need to act fast and that's where technology excels. By understanding how carbon is put into the atmosphere through the built environment and how we take it out is at the core of solving the climate crisis. It's a simple idea, but one that has been lacking tools, resources, and guidance. To be effective, it needs to be scalable from the smallest backyard to cities to regions and from our home lives to our work lives to being conscious of all of those decisions we make that impact climate change. It's making a choice to have a positive impact in every aspect going forward—the choice to be climate positive.
