There are plenty of actions that can be taken to shape our climate and the politics around it. The need is for people to take action that multiplies each action taken. Enable others to drive economic incentives.

1) Build, identify and share websites and apps that identify companies and products to use / avoid based on the climate change background of the company. These apps / sites need to be data driven and transparent with the data sources linked and accessible. Make these as easy as possible to use (ie. an AR app for phones to use in physical stores, browser plugins to use with online shopping, etc). Someone here on HN can probably crank these out in a few days to weeks (Make sure there are api's so different apps and sites can work together).

2) Using the above, focus on buying products from companies that work to improve the environment and encourage your family and friends to do the same. Everything from food to cloths to transportation, etc. Make it undesirable to BE a company that is not working to help the planet. Make it undesirable to WORK for a company that is not working to help the planet.

- ex. Brazil is letting the rainforest get cut down / burn down for corporate greed? Tag products and companies from Brazil that are part of the problem, and that are not fighting the problem.

- ex. Ethiopia plants 350 million trees in a day, invest in the companies and charities that are supporting that effort.

3) Centralize information about environmental efforts into a visually easy to navigate thing (again, app or site) so that people around the world can figure out how to invest and help. Leverage data analytics against corporate ownership and activities to score companies, countries, counties, charities and politicians on how they are helping to save the planet.

4) Call out the biggest things that drive climate change and help find solutions to change and replace them (XPRIZE anyone?). Everyone loves to talk about car pollution, no one talks about container ship and cruise ship pollution. (https://www.quora.com/Is-it-true-that-the-15-biggest-ships-i...). If containerships really are the worst polluters, perhaps there can be an XPrize to figure out how to replace them with something less polluting (clearly asking shoppers to stop buying and shipping things isn't working). Electric/Solar/Wind/Nuclear/Hydrogen powered boats? Electric or clean hybrid trains? It's the R&D cost to make these competitive options that prevent or reduce these from happening.

5) Are there other industrial solutions? Carbon capture and conversion to fuel? Atmospheric reflection? Maybe these are crazy science fiction, maybe not. The iPad was a prop on StarTrek The Next Generation in the 90s, now it's real and relatively cheap. Not everything will work, if we look for solutions, something will work, we can refine it and make it better.

Ultimately many people want to help, but don't know where to start or how they can help. The big place is not individual change... its corporate change. Saving the earth must be the economically best choice for companies and others.
