Today, I’m happy to release the Carbon Creed affirmations (part 1). If you read this newsletter regularly, you have an idea of how my lens works. These affirmations are a starting point in my journey to help others frame their carbon and climate values:

1. I believe all humans desire clean air, clean water and good health. This is a universal truth that transcends race, gender, nationality and politics.

2. I believe rising carbon emissions present an existential threat to human health, the economy and the planet.

3. I believe all people must adopt values that advance decarbonization and mitigate climate change.

4. I believe humans have the ability to adapt and can solve the effects of climate change through innovation and data.

5. I believe members of each generation have a shared obligation to be sustainable stewards of the Earth’s finite resources.

6. I believe it is more important to listen to other views and seek common ground than to impose my own opinions about climate change.

Which affirmation(s) stand out to you? Why?
