When there is a problem, there are tons of solutions ---- Mingtao Zhou
Are we hopeless? Not yet. NASA has posted many solutions on its website, though many of them are hard to reach by most people.
The top three solutions listed are Government resources, Mitigation and Adaptation, and Energy Innovation. Government resources means to use government power to regulate some companies and to make laws that help get the environment better. Also government is able to inform people in the quickest way. Mitigation and Adaptation means to reduce emissions of and stabilize the levels of heat-trapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and adapt to the climate change already in the pipeline. Energy Innovation means to do the same amount of work with less energy and it requires an innovation to use energy better or to create new clean energy. For example, try drive the same amount of distance, using electrical cars can lessen the use of fossil fuels, which produce a huge amount of CO2.
Besides these solutions, there are also many things that we are able to do.
People always think what they can do is limited, and too little comparing to what needs to be done, and I always have the same thoughts. However, there is one thing that everyone can do, which is to build a better environmental perspective for the young generations who will later take responsibilities to save human. Plant trees is not just to plant trees, but to influence others' perspectives. Buy energy efficient products is also more about letting young generations know what to buy.
The most important thing is that people need to take responsibilities even if they feel like those big companies made this mass.
We save ourselves, and we save our future generations.

- Buy energy efficient products
- Conserve energy at home and at work
- Plant trees
- Reduce, reuse, and recycle
- Make wise transportation choices
