I’d like to offer a somewhat different perspective. After working on climate as an open source developer for a couple of years, I’ve found that a common problem is that we’re trying to get someone else doing something, without appreciating how difficult it would be for them.
So a very simple proposition from my background as an open source developer is simply to start with a solution that you directly can work on. For example, I don’t know anything about farming, but I do live in a building. Drawdown has listed smart thermostats and building automations sytems as solutions. Do they work? Is everybody using them? Can I get more people to use them?

There’s a lot more you can do with this kind of thinking. If you’re interested, I’m starting a Decarbonization DAO open source project for it.
