Every year, almost four million people die from household air pollution, which is mostly coming from cooking. There are more people who die from household air pollution than the total who die from HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis combined. You don’t need to develop vaccines to stop people dying from air pollution.

The world has already found some innovative ways to sustainably produce energy without the reliance on coal, oil, and natural gas. Since no fossil fuels or other pollutant forms of energy are required, wind energy will provide your business with clean, low carbon energy. However, there is still more to be done.

The reason it’s considered a solution is that plants suck up carbon from the air while they grow. When we turn them into fuels and burn them, no new carbon is added to the atmosphere —the whole cycle is considered “carbon neutral.” But critics say biofuels’ carbon-neutrality is a mirage. The case for negative emissions.
