Implementing energy efficiency and renewable energy worldwide is essential to creating a sustainable lifestyle on planet Earth. The extraction and combustion of fossil fuels contributes to climate change, and seriously pollutes the planet, creating major problems for people and the whole ecosystem.
It is also verifiable that efficiency and renewable energy technologies are not expensive in comparison to combustion based technologies. Fossil fuel based technologies receive enormous subsidies for the extraction of resources and the generation of electricity.
"It is my belief that people born onto Planet Earth are entitled to an environment of clean air, clean water, and clean land, and it is clear that combustion of fossil fuels is simply not sustainable as a long-term or even a medium-term strategy."
