Climate action does not begin with one miracle invention.

It begins with thousands of decisions, technologies, businesses, habits, investments, communities and ideas.

Some are small.

Some are enormous.

Some already exist 100’S of years

Some still need to be invented.

Some can be implemented today.

Some require decades of research and investment.

The purpose of 1000 IDEAS — STOPCO2 SOLUTIONS is to collect, organise and communicate them.

Not as a promise that every idea will work everywhere.

Not as a claim that every idea is equally important.

But as an open invitation:

THINK. QUESTION. ACT.
