All 400 Items — Better Mind Body Health Happiness

A Copy Of All 400 Items (reorganized for simplification)

If you scroll down, I have pasted the full list with almost all of the 400 items.

These are from the 6 Sector Solution https://www.unep.org/interactive/six-sector-solution-climate-change/ and Project Drawdown https://drawdown.org/solutions/table-of-solutions, although it is recommended to also include information from regularly adding %s to prevent some or lots of the tipping points https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tipping_points_in_the_climate_system, especially those with the most side effects, and regularly asking the world of science and tech people if they could help with %s for making solutions cheaper so that the world’s poorest 4 billion can implement them sooner (when they’re safe and affordable enough) rather than later.

If you scroll to the second section (or go “Ctrl+F” and type “Project Drawdown”), you will find the Project Drawdown section, especially the 24 largest areas. It would be really helpful if there was a 2nd list of 100 additional solutions that are added to Project Drawdown, because some of the largest items (e.g. onshore wind turbines) won’t be achievable- a 2nd 100 items will probably be much smaller than a lot of the first 100 items, but will be needed to cover what the first 100 can’t cover.

To implement the 400> 40> 10 method, you would then need to choose up to 40 per month as potential goals or %s. You also don’t need to find all 40 at once, you can add e.g. 4 or 7 or 10 at a time (just make sure to add some impossible ones to add %s to earlier)…

And the main idea is to try to achieve an average of 10 per month (month), and to keep trying with %s for the advocacy ones early (including getting the whole 8 billion to help, and anything the world achieves, you can count as one of your 10).

How do you do this more easily? A really good starting place is the 7+7 small sustainability efforts per week. A small effort is any effort, starting from 2 seconds e.g. reading a hard paragraph or trying to solve a % of a personal sustainability problem, and going to potentially 10 minutes- whatever you >>> choose and are motivated to do at the time… luckily it gets really interesting really quickly. What do I do as a small effort? Sometimes it is literally 2 seconds, sometimes it is a couple of minutes, sometimes it is several pages. The main thing here is that you yourself choose, based on your level of motivation and interest. You can spend 5 minutes on 14 small efforts if you’re not into it… or you can spend more if you choose to. However, to remember that this isn’t development time, so to think about all your various factors. I might spend 1 hour, 1.5 hours or 2 hours on this per week, depending on all factors. The most important thing is regular effort, especially around advocacy, personal habits, solving personal problems (e.g. how to make things cheap enough for you, even if you’re poor and it takes most of your 14 small efforts- this counts) and making this a worldwide thing. And if you want to do more, to add to each week backwards from 2100, with the idea being that when they meet up, sustainability is thoroughly solved (so its like gamifying it & making it fun)

Also, out of the short list of 40 per month (which makes it a lot less overwhelming), you could also potentially choose less options to focus on for each week or for two weeks, which could be really helpful for some people, to have a more specific list to add %s to.

And having more means that if you get stuck on one, you can just add a % to another.

Remembering that the world advocacy ones (e.g. eating a more plant rich diet with less meat), will be the hardest, because they need all 8 billion people, and this needs to be mindful of when different groups can actually afford it). So to start with the advocacy ones sooner, even if they take ages.

But the good thing is, if someone else achieves a world advocacy one, you can count it as one of your 10 per month too.

If all 8 billion people achieve only 10 per month, this means that the full list will be achieved by >>> 2027 (would you believe it… by 2027). It’s kind of incredible, isn’t it… And particularly relevant to the tipping points at >>>2025 and >>>2030.

However, this all strongly relies on the other tipping points being prevented with lots of %s too https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tipping_points_in_the_climate_system (which is part of the 400 below), which would accelerate things hugely.

So %s for them are the most important thing. But by 2027, can you believe it… this is amazing.

A Mini Example of the 40 for August:

Choosing the 40 items, potentially organizing them into what 5, 10 or 20 to focus on first, trying to achieve 10 per month (month)

For more details of my personal 40, please have a look at: http://bettermindbodyhealthhappiness.com/example

1. Shift towards a more plant-rich diet

I’ve been doing this for years, so I would just keep optimizing this and nutrients
It’s already a strong enough habit

To Do- this month’s 40 options

Civilian list for myself

Agriculture, Food & Waste

2. Eat seasonally and locally when possible

%s I added below (well, these were more like the 7+7 small efforts, where what I wrote after this was part of 1 small effort, at the level of motivation I was at at that time; I was fairly motivated so I did a variety of other things as part of 1 small effort)
What does this mean? I could add %s for what this means
It could mean asking if food is local, and if I’m not sure, going for the local option
You would need to learn what seasonal is

Up to 40 things, where I need to try and achieve at least 10 per month

I could potentially order these into the 10 I want to consider first, then the 10 I want to consider next, and the remainder. This makes it even easier to choose what to focus on. And I would add notes to clarify what something is and ways it could be done. To also please be mindful of trackers (e.g. to have ethical safety strategies).
You don’t have to achieve 10 per month- but to keep trying. The 7+7 small sustainability efforts makes it much easier to do.

(from https://www.unep.org/interactive/six-sector-solution-climate-change, from all the Tipping Point %s,

from https://drawdown.org/solutions/table-of-solutions, from the world of technical people’s % solutions)

Really Important:

Any ways to get the 8 billion to keep adding %s to the methods to prevent high risk tipping points, without scaring people too much (but really motivating) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tipping_points_in_the_climate_system)
Anything you can do to help the world of technical people interested in %s of solutions to hugely make climate change solutions cheaper for the poorest 4 billion, so that can make up for how the poorest 4 billion will be wealthier by 2050 (and the world will have 2 billion extra people) and will be need a lot more energy not only for fuel but for products and food.
So the rapidly speeding up climate change tech solutions is for making up for the increased energy needs of the poorest 4 billion by 2050, which is an extremely strong >>> ethical and moral right.

Project Drawdown’s Solutions for 2050

Any %s you can do to help understand or safely advocate for %s of the 8 billion people to apply the 100-200 best solutions.
This website is one of the most helpful out there: https://drawdown.org/solutions/table-of-solutions, and I have reorganized and summarised a lot of the advocacy areas below.
o Together with Preventing Tipping Points, this section is the most important… Adding the 100 from here to advocate for worldwide would be incredibly helpful & each % helps to move it forward… the best way to protect your mental health is to create allocated times and to create boundaries around these.

o If the 2025 to 2030 Tipping Points get too close, then the largest 20 from here are a good point- however all of the 100 will need to be applied as soon as it they become cheap enough for the world’s poorest 5.5 billion, and to be applied by the world’s wealthiest 1%, 5%, 10% sooner than that (remembering that some people in wealthier societies are wealthier compared to the world but are poor in their own societies)

o If there was any way to create a monthly numerical estimate of how far away the world was from each tipping point (or at the very least for the 2025 and 2030 tipping point goals), and what numbers you can compare to these (e.g. if __ tons were left and the best activities for that month had __ tons, this would be incredibly helpful, especially if everyone knew where this was)

o It would also be really helpful if there was a second 100 created because some of these won’t happen- e.g. the largest solution of Onshore Wind Turbines probably won’t happen because they’re too loud

The Six Sector Solution for the 2030 Tipping Points:

Personal habits to figure out, 1 by 1 (I grouped all the individual actions together) or to keep for later if you need to achieve them for future later life stages- 34 items
Government list for your country (only if safe)- 38 items
Business list within your current business- 36 items
Civilian list for worldwide advocacy for the 8 billion (but only if it’s safe, and to be implemented when it’s affordable enough)- 10+34 items
Government list for all countries (but only if it’s safe)- 38 items
Business & Industry list for the 8 billion (but only if it’s safe, and to be implemented when it’s affordable enough) - 36 items
35 optional recommended readings from the Six Sector Solution
Any other recommended readings that you think could help

This totals about 400 items, which are explained

In Outline Form in the section after this
In a “Detailed” page, with explanations for many of these: https://www.bettermindbodyhealthhappiness.com/detailed

To apply the 400> 40> 10 method, if you find 40 potential ones each month, prioritize some to have a look at each week, work on the advocacy ones early and achieve just 10 per month, this will mean that all 400 will be achieved in three years and four months… or before the end of >>>2027. It feels almost unbelievable but it is real- if it is done early.

However, this would depend on if worldwide %s that prevented tipping points were regularly done… i.e. if you regularly asked the full 8 billion (without scaring them too much) to find out what was needed to be done to prevent the tipping points and to ask the full 8 billion to regularly prioritise this as part of their development time.

This is the number one development area and would be an incredible achievement that would help 4 billion people… and remember that climate change disasters already increased 5 times with the last 1.5 degree increase (and we’re dealing with way more tipping points this time) and will increase at least 5 times more. Helping to stop this increase will hugely help almost half of the world population with climate change problems- especially around food and the impacts of climate change disasters.

Out of the millions of development goals in the world, this one is right near the very top of the list, because it affects the most people in the most ways. Highlighting 40 per month, highlighting some of these, and trying to reach 10 per month- even if you fail- would be a really excellent way to use some or even most of your sustainability 7+7 per week (which is really easy to do).

It would also mean your children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren would know that you were the generation that could do something about it and that you did do something about it. And to prevent you yourself witnessing more climate change disasters in your own lifetime.

But doing the handwritten sustainability 7+7 small efforts per week- it’s too easy to do… and it gets really interesting really quickly. A small effort isn’t a %… it’s literally a small effort… it can be several minutes but if you can only do 2 seconds, that counts too. It all adds up to saving the world with climate change. Just to be mindful of trackers, and to be careful.

Outlines of the 400 Grouped Actions:

Explanations of specific actions: https://www.bettermindbodyhealthhappiness.com/detailed

Percentages for How to Prevent Tipping Points, % by % by %

All %s that attract large enough %s of the 8 billion people to regularly keep doing %s to prevent any potential tipping point that has high potential side effects (without scaring people too much), or that figure out how to prevent these or actually prevent these, would be incredibly helpful.

This 1 section is equally as important as the 400…

One example of a % is this: there is an idea that 80% of work is done in the first 20% of the time, and that the hardest 20% takes 80% of the time.

Therefore, if the world was encouraged to focus most on quickly, safely and effectively achieving the largest 60%, then the next 60% (of what is left), then the next 60%, then the next 60%, this would help hugely with the 2025 and 2030 tipping points.

However, all 100 of the Project Drawdown areas need to eventually be implemented- but the first 60%+ 60% left will speed things up, especially if they are in similar categories.

For example, the largest topics that add up to 65% fit into the categories Electricity Generation, Groups’ Habits and Knowledge, Refrigerant Science, and Nature Protection and Restoration. The largest topics that add up to 25% after this fit into the categories Farming Practices, Building and Energy, Transport, and Cooking. This leaves the remaining 10% of items (50 items, which includes the 7 unknown quantities at the bottom).

This is a much faster way to implement and prioritize tasks for the 2025 and 2030 tipping points. However, to also remember that onshore windfarms is 9%, but might need to be replaced with other items because they are loud and probably not good for a lot of human or ecological areas (although they are OK for some locations too).

You could also potentially find out the factors that are causing tipping points, find %s to slow tipping points down or effectively and ethically advocate for these, in ways that are safe enough.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tipping_points_in_the_climate_system

Asking Science and Tech People across the 8 Billion People To Keep Adding %s to Make Methods Cheap Enough So That The Poorest 4 Billion Can Afford To Implement Them

There is a major problem with climate change solutions, and that is that the world’s poorest 5 billion have a moral and ethical right to become wealthier and to buy more comforts- especially air conditioning, heating, fridges, vehicles they can afford, etc. However, this will hugely increase the amount of climate change, which risks the tipping points. This is why it is so important that things like taking emissions out of the atmosphere and climate change tech %s (especially how to make them more effective and cheaper) are widely considered as solutions for this last problem, and not as solutions for the wealthiest 2 billion now. Hugely popularizing and speeding up worldwide %s for tech for climate change and similar sustainability solutions is the solution to this last problem- not the main problem. It is really needed to make this a really popular part of worldwide development %s… but it is not the solution for the first part, just the second part.

The sooner they are cheap enough, the sooner 100% of the poorest 4 billion can implement them.

But because a lot of people are really poor, they really need %s to make them cheap enough.

Project Drawdown’s 100 Priorities for Advocacy (if it’s safe enough)

This website is incredibly useful: https://drawdown.org/solutions/table-of-solutions

And so is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tipping_points_in_the_climate_system

I organized the 100 Project Drawdown priorities into 18 categories below, and ordered them from largest to smallest within their categories. This creates a plan for a 1.5 degree warmer climate, with the #1 main priority being adding %s to >>> prevent all the tipping points before they happen (e.g. during allocated times).

Some of the 100 areas won’t be partly or fully achievable (e.g. I think the #1 largest category, onshore wind farms, won’t be achievable), so if there was a 2nd list of 100 areas (in case some of the first 100 can’t be reached), this would be incredibly helpful.

However, this is a really wonderful resource and is so highly recommended.

If you were going to pick 40 potential climate change areas per month and try and achieve 10 per month (even if you fail, to really try), the Project Drawdown areas seem a lot harder to achieve, because its advocacy for the world.

Therefore, the best way could be to pick areas you think you could achieve (e.g. with the 7+7 small efforts), but to also regularly add in advocacy areas to the 40… if you can get the whole 8 billion to regularly advocate for these- with the idea that each billion go for them when they get cheap enough for that billion- then the whole world could work together to get this to happen as soon as possible… And if you don’t work on an advocacy area but the world achieves it, you can count it as one of your 10.

Some of the areas above and below and try to create %s to understand what is needed a bit better, try to advocate for them (or make them easier to understand and remember) if there are opportunities and/or try to add %s. This could mean reading about them, trying to clarify them and explain them, trying to advocate for them, and trying to add %s for how to make some as popularized and as cheap as they can be worldwide.

If some of the first 100 fail (for example, I think that Onshore Wind Turbines will fail because they’re too loud), what could the 2nd 100 be, just in case? And what are ways to make some or all of these cheaper?

These Are The 18 Overall Categories I Originally Created and Grouped Together

Overall - Energy - Nature - Buildings - Travel - Industry

Preventing Tipping Points

Food and cooking - Education

Solar power - Other electricity types- Energy support

Farming Practices - Forests - Natural environments - Oceans and Seas

Improving Current Buildings - Buildings

Transport - Travel

Industry: Recycling- everything recyclable - Refrigeration Solutions - Cement - Methane

The good thing about these is that once you start adding short explanations, a lot of them are actually quite similar in how to apply them, but with some modifications.

I highlighted larger ones with this: *** for 2025. However, all 100 of these need to be implemented worldwide when they get cheap enough

Things that you could do include putting this in a Word document and using Title 1 and Title 2s to create dropdowns for everything, adding 1-10 notes in dropdowns, of what is most important for the world to know about these (e.g. 2 or 4 or 7 dot points), figuring out what types of people might need to be advocated to or doing ripples outwards (e.g. to try and reach people who might know farmers- apparently we’re all connected by 7 degrees), any %s you can think of to help move it forward and achieve it by 2025 and 2030.

If you were doing 7+7 small efforts for sustainability per week, adding a note or a few notes could potentially be an easy way to do this (although some efforts might not result in any notes).

So the question is how advocacy for groups of these would work (e.g. with short explanations of what they are), and how to attract %s to make them cheap enough for the poorest 4 billion.

These Are The New Categories I Created and Grouped Together

To find more details about these, please have a look at: http://bettermindbodyhealthhappiness.com/detailed

What is really needed is category info sheets that the whole 8 billion can apply and understand. I started to fill out really short info sheets in the /detailed link above, although they could do with community organizations.

There were actually 16 categories, but I arranged them into 18 different applied categories.

How do I pick 10, 12 or 14, and make notes for them. I can grade the notes /100 on how well explained I think they are, and on where %s need to be.

The thing is, all the smaller points need to be achieved too, and potentially another 100 things too to make up for what can’t be reached above. So working on these will help too. The good news is, a lot of these things achieve both climate change goals and sustainability at the same time…

4 Personal habits to figure out, 1 by 1 (I grouped all the individual actions together)

This isn’t for advocacy- this has been copied as an advocacy section in Section 4.

Or to keep for later if they are good now but if you need to achieve them for future later life stages (e.g. if you expect life changes).

Easy for most (grouped together)- you could save these for if you struggle to reach 10

10. Shift towards a more plant-rich diet

11. Plan meals, write shopping lists, use portion tools for rice and pasta, cook with leftovers

12. Buy only what you can eat or save

13. Embrace ugly fruit and vegetables

14. Store food to maximize freshness, including by freezing food when appropriate if possible

17. Ask grocery stores, restaurants and hotels to tackle food loss and champion those who lead the way

18. Eat seasonally and locally when possible

22. Choose rail over air and travel as little as possible

23. Reduce your commute by working from home

24. Hold meetings over videoconference

25. Walk and cycle

26. Use public and shared transport

28. Join bike-sharing, scooter-sharing or car-sharing services- if you want to

You need to measure first

1. Understand how much energy you use and try to consume less of it (but Not in extreme temperatures)

30. Find out where your home loses energy and take steps to address it

You need to research organizations first

2. Use energy that comes from renewable sources if possible

3. Divest from investments or pension funds investing in fossil fuels

4. If possible, choose utilities and operators committed to decarbonization and energy efficiency

15. Share excess with services who can distribute it to the needy

20. Whenever possible, neutralize your carbon footprint through investments in natural carbon sinks, such as forests

27. Support local government initiatives to introduce better mass transit and non-motorized mobility infrastructure

You need 7+7 small efforts to help understand what this is/ how to do this

5. Join the United Nations Act Now campaign to take action on climate change.

6. Reduce, reuse, repair and recycle what you consume

7. Ask companies and governments for information about how they produce and source both goods and services; read up on their commitments to sustainable production and practices

8. Ask companies and government bodies for sustainable options

9. Support companies that practice sustainable and circular practices; for example, patronize businesses that provide spare parts, offer take-back services to reclaim used goods and use recycled materials.

16. Compost food scraps

19. Adopt a diet that reduces forest habitat loss and degradation by shopping locally and in season and purchasing products with deforestation-free ingredients, when possible

21. Buy electric vehicles and cars that use cleaner fuels

29. Understand a home’s energy efficiency before you buy or rent

31. Seal windows and doors, stop thermal bridges through insulation, install double-glazed doors and invest in heat pumps

32. Regulate temperature by adding verandas, green roofs, high-inertia walls and bio-based insulation made from renewable or recyclable materials

33. Use curtains and blinds to keep homes cooler and reduce the need for air conditioning

34. Switch to LED lighting and understand efficiency performance when buying new appliances, especially air conditioners.

5 Government to do-list for your country (but only if it’s safe enough for you, and balanced enough with job social safety nets)

These are from the 6 Sector Solution for Climate Change, which shows the best way to achieve the 2030 goals, before the 2030 Tipping Points. There are also 2025 Tipping Points, so its problematic, but if there is any way to get all the easiest ones done, and to have ongoing resources working on ways to keep making the harder ones cheaper and with more and more and more effective social safety nets, this would help a lot with the 2025 Tipping Points. The reason why this is so important is because climate change disasters increased 5 times with the last 1.5 degree increase (1970-2019) and increased 7 times financially, as well as all the human costs with each climate change disaster.

Unfortunately, climate change disasters will increase another 5 times with the next 1.5 degrees (this is correct- 5 times). Beyond 1.5 degrees, a lot of Tipping Points start getting hit, increasing climate change further and making the number and severity of climate change disasters accelerate a lot.

While this is highly motivating, there is another side of the coin too… people’s jobs, businesses’ ability to keep operating with adequate profits, and governments wishes for re-election. This is why a huge % of the problem solving is how to make social safety nets as thorough, cheap and effective as possible. For some people, this also involves figuring out change- they might need to change location, industry and job type/ get retraining. Other people are more conservative and don’t like change full stop. So the other part of the problem solving is, how to get a culture where the 5% who will struggle the most can thoroughly cope with these changes… this could be sharing mirror neurons, methods, or more formal promotion campaigns, things like this seem to be % by %…

So the following are what the UNEP recommends to prevent the first set of tipping points over the next 2 and 7 years (2025 and 2030)-

Goals

1. Commit to more ambitious Nationally Determined Contributions and energy transition strategies

6 Business list within your current business (but to be really careful with your job)

The best way to do this could be to come up with 10 you would like to try first, and when you feel like a change, to pick another 10 you would like to try.

The problem with this is that it’s supposed to be across all industries everywhere- once it becomes cheap enough (if it costs too much, then your business might not be ready and you could focus on something else). Therefore, I copied this list for all industries everywhere in section 9, as a separate advocacy section.
