Example of 40 to 10: race to 10 — Better Mind Body Health Happiness

An example of 400 to 40 to 10 this month

For this example (August), I will choose 40 to consider this month, to prevent overwhelm. 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 as well)…

I will also remember that 10 are supposed to be achieved every month, so to get a start on worldwide advocacy ones really early.

If I wanted to, I could choose 10 to focus on per week. I will also add dot points underneath these if I want to add types of %s. However, be careful with ethical strategies around trackers and all of this (e.g. print it off and do it offline, e.g. with a pencil on the overall list and being careful what and how you search, unless you don’t care about trackers).

And the overall goal is to achieve 10 climate change things per month (month).

If I fail, I fail, but to keep on trying to reach 10 per month. This will get harder later on as mainly worldwide advocacy ones are left. However, if it gets stuck, I can do the easier one’s towards the end of the month (e.g. a lot of the personal ones are really easy, and more like leaving a note somewhere you will remember, figuring out how you will apply it, and trying to remember to act on it).

We also need to be especially sensitive to that some of the 8 billion cannot afford to do these until they become cheaper (e.g. the poorest 4 billion), and for other people, it’s important that they stay motivated/ sustainable, so, bit by bit. So some of the 400 might not be achievable until they are cheap enough and others need to be careful with their motivation levels/ some of the 400.

However, if anyone in the world achieves a worldwide advocacy success (persuades the entire world), you can count this as a 10. So the more of the 8 billion trying to achieve 10 per month, the faster this all happens (including that anything the world achieves, you can count as one of your 10 now or later).

As an alternative method which could make this easier, we could safely, ethically and effectively get each person on earth to learn all relevant habits. This includes each person’s government and business connections as their own, if- if- if it’s safe and careful enough.

Each person would then need to shortlist 20-40 to have an easier focus list, attempt to achieve 10 per month (month), persuade the whole world to do the same- where it’s >>>safe enough, and help to make difficult areas easier to understand and/or achieve for the people who need to, % by %. Climate change increased at least 5 times with the last 1.5 degree. Let’s stop the tipping points this time first (or keep adding %s to them) and keep aiming for the best adaptation and >>>reduction methods worldwide. If you have a heart (and can truly afford each %, e.g. solar power/ it’s within your budget), could you please help?

https://drawdown.org/solutions/table-of-solutions

>>>>>> this is the most important part for additional %s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tipping_points_in_the_climate_system

If you scroll down, you can find my suggestions for %s of this further down.

How do you make this easier to do? 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 4 seconds, sometimes it is a couple of minutes, sometimes it 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)

If all 8 billion achieve only 10 per month, this means that the full list will be achieved by >>> 2026 (would you believe it… by 2026). It’s kind of incredible, isn’t it…

However, this all strongly relies on the tipping points being prevented (which is part of the 400 below), which will accelerate things hugely. So %s for them are the most important thing. But by 2026, can you believe it… this is amazing.

——————————————-

My Example of the 40 to 10 for August

Choosing the 40 items, potentially organizing them into what 5, 10 or 15 to focus on first, then trying to achieve 10 each month (month)…

Done- August

Civilian list for myself (i.e. not as advocacy)

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

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

I did this, it’s great
In terms of being a habit- it teaches habits, really well
So if I check in with it at least once (ideally at least 2 or 4 times) per week long term, then its a habit. I think I can achieve this already

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

A number of the next items, I can’t, so am crossing off the list, or I can and think it can become a habit without any problems

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

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

6. Walk and cycle- I unfortunately can’t- things are too far away for my endurance levels

7. Use public and shared transport

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

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

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

Done- September

Civilian list for myself (i.e. not as advocacy)

1. 7+7 climate change/sustainability small efforts?

2. The

To Do- 5 or 10 or 15 sooner

Civilian list for myself

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

To Do- this month’s 40 options

Up to 40 things, where I need to try and achieve at least 10 out of 40 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, as shown above. 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 to.
The 7+7 climate change/sustainability small efforts makes all this easier and more interesting to do.
If you include some advocacy ones, like the next one below, this makes it much easier later on.

3. Project Drawdown’s 100 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.
These are all advocacy ones- I added lots and lots of %s to these. Should I count these as one? I’m feeling really motivated so I’ll say no.
Could I motivate for one or a category to become global
2025 is really close… I feel like advocating for the large ones is cheating because it will then get way harder afterwards, but 2025 is REALLY close. What are 7 I could advocate for all 8 billion right now?
- huge solar farms becoming profitable,
- solar on rooftops everywhere if cheap enough
- plant rich diets
- food waste in supply chains towards zero
- forest restoration wherever most needed & alternative jobs
- layering trees and crops is excellent for food, soil and carbon sequestration
- what is clean cooking? doesn’t it need %s to get cheaper?

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

This 1 section is equally as important as the 400….
Thanks for the pressure, self. Well that’s a bit intense. I might need to come back to it, or % by %
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tipping_points_in_the_climate_system
I have no idea how to do this one. If Month 1= no idea, Month 2= some idea, Month 3= methods, Month 4, effectiveness, how do we start… People neglect the Amazon so I could focus on this…
What are alternative job types? All the other animals. How to take care of land so can reuse it long-term? Alternative jobs to cutting down forests. But it’s really profitable. How do you make it really unprofitable, long-term? And what are alternative job types?
If an Amazon Tipping Point happens, climate change disasters will probably increase by 10x or more, and that’s Not an exaggeration. It’s incredibly important. It’s Not a risk worth taking.
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.
You could also potentially find out the factors that are causing them, find %s to slow them down or effectively and ethically advocate for these, in ways that are safe enough.

5. 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

If development was popular, you could ask science and tech people to spend half their development time on overall development science and tech priorities that they chose… because they’re hard, they would be % by %?
Any ways to make climate change things that need to be cheaper for the full 8 billion, cheaper and safer, these %s would help climate change results so much…
I wish there were institutes that would allow %s from the whole world, and the institutes would have enough money to test them out with materials… for example if there was a way to make clean cooking, one of Project Drawdown’s largest %s, way more cheaper, this would really speed up climate change help because more of the poorest 4 billion could actually afford it
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.

6. How do I make this easier to remember or apply?

Are you considering solar energy?

Are you thinking about other energy types?

Solar:

1. Utility-Scale Solar Photovoltaics 111.59 ***

2. Utility-Scale Energy Storage

3. Distributed Solar Photovoltaics 64.86 ***

4. Distributed Energy Storage

5. Concentrated Solar Power 21.51 ***

Wind

2. Onshore Wind Turbines 143.56 *** I don’t think this will happen- aren’t they too loud?

11. Micro Wind Turbines 0.11 *** I don’t think this will happen- aren’t they too loud?

3. Offshore Wind Turbines 9.89 These need to be places e.g. fish don’t travel or breed, so

need local specialists to say specific locations not to & why

1. Grid Flexibility

4. Geothermal Power 9.17

6. Waste to Energy 5.24

8. Nuclear Power 3.64

9. Biomass Power 3.59

10. Small Hydropower 3.21

12. Ocean Power 0.80

5. Methane Digesters 7.05

7. Methane Leak Management 4.50

13. Landfill Methane Capture -1.48

4 Personal to do

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

This looks hard to do
https://www.homebuilding.co.uk/advice/heat-loss-in-a-house
This is really useful, but what about Summer?
What about electricity sources
I do have a month to work on it, and I could solve it by next month

5 Government

Goals

8. The UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration is a rallying call for the protection and revival of ecosystems all around the world, for the benefit of people and nature. It runs through 2030, which is also the deadline for the Sustainable Development Goals and the timeline scientists have identified as the last chance to prevent catastrophic climate change. It would help with sustainability too, if it protected the long-term together with job solutions.

9. Restore 150 million hectares of forests and other landscapes by 2020 and 350 million hectares by 2030 – the two primary goals of the Bonn Challenge.

10. Measure food loss, create waste baselines and implement strategies to reduce food waste.

11. Stop policies and subsidies that incentivize deforestation and peatlands degradation and promote their restoration.

The above categories… these sound like world goals, but could be achieved for our government…
There were some paragraphs of importance to food waste, deforestation, peatlands and restoration in Project Drawdown’s writings
If we could understand food loss better, our people could communicate it better to developing countries potentially?
Because the largest % is food loss along supply chains
I don’t know much about this area though

7 Civilian list for myself to do or advocacy

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

I wasn’t sure what this meant
How about “Reuse & Repair” then “Reduce & Recycle”
Recycling would mean knowing how to, and having recyclable bags at home to store things in and going to recycle once every week or two (e.g. before shopping)
Reducing is problematic because we want to prevent recessions. Therefore, how about choosing goods and services that are, if truly affordable, environmentally friendly enough
I don’t agree with less rubbish collection though, because what if someone forgets one time? Therefore, positive motivation and habits here are better than pushing?
It’s not about perfect now, it’s about regular improvements

7 Easy for most- I should do this if I’m struggling to reach the 10… these are still habits though

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

cook with leftovers, reuse, try and reuse, if safe to

12. Buy only what you can eat or save

I understood this now…
This means: When you get takeaway, ask what is in the meal, and if you won’t eat it, literally ask them to not add that item (or eat it later (e.g. if it’s lettuce))
How do you make this a habit? It would be courage and memory wouldn’t it?

8 Governments

7. Promote the use of efficient and renewable heating and cooling

How could people become more aware of these and motivated around these? Especially if there are benefits like rebates and cost savings?

10. Set and promote science-based targets to increase the availability and uptake of plant-rich diets, increase sustainable production and minimize food waste

Increase sustainable production… what does this mean? Reducing food waste?
Does it mean improving environmental priorities? What are they though?
After climate change, this was useful (specifically, the overall section of 3.4) https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0048969720326139
How about these:
Biodiversity, conservation and sustainable natural resource management
Water security now, climate resilience and natural disasters preparedness and prevention
Renewable energy

11. Inform consumers and producers about food choices and how to reduce food loss waste across the supply chain

So these would be promotions and online pages on the 20 best ways to reduce food loss waste across the country each 4 months (e.g. updated each 4 months)

13. Promote and support climate-smart and sustainable agriculture practices

“Sustainable” agricultural practices would be a list of environmental priorities, and the best ways agricultural practices can help achieve this…
“Climate smart” agricultural practices? This must be my list:
- “Are you a farmer” lists
- “Are you a person” (specifically, reducing food waste across the supply chain)
- From: https://www.bettermindbodyhealthhappiness.com/detailed
- Ctrl+F “Are you a farmer/person”

19. Work with suppliers to find collaborative solutions to minimize ecosystem impacts across the supply chain

30. Promote the installation of heat pumps, solar cells and heat storage technology

——————————————-

Remainder of List That I’m Cutting and Pasting From

(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)

Climate change prevention is one of the most important development areas and would be an incredible achievement that would help 4 billion people… and remember that climate change disasters increased 5 times with the last 1.5 degree increase (and we’re dealing with way more tipping points this time). This will 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 you yourself will probably be witnessing more climate change disasters in your own time.

But the handwritten sustainability 7+7 small efforts per week is 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 4 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.

To choose from:

——————————————-

1 Preventing Tipping Points

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

2 Persuading Science World To Keep Adding Climate Science %s

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.

3 Project Drawdown’s 100 Solutions

These would need their own list, although it would be rarer when a solution is achieved because it’s for the world, so you could just add these to the done section without a list. As an alternative to this, you could do one for your country and one for the world- where it’s safe to do this.

I work on these by adding %s to these as part of the 40 per month, knowing it might take a while to reach 10 per month.

4 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

Easy for most- I should do this if I’m struggling to reach the 10… these are still habits though

12. Buy only what you can eat or save

13. Embrace ugly fruit and vegetables

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

23. Reduce your commute by working from home

24. Hold meetings over videoconference

You need to measure first

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

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

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

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.

2 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 7.5 years (2025 and 2030)-

Goals

Solve and promote

Personal activities

Incentives

Infrastructure

Goals

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

2. Set national and sub-national decarbonization and net-zero carbon targets

4. Introduce policies that incentivize renewable energy and promote energy efficiency

5. Impose and strengthen energy efficiency standards

6. Price carbon — this will facilitate the drawdown of carbon-intensive technologies and promote more sustainable alternatives

9. Measure food loss, create waste baselines and implement strategies to reduce food waste

12. Align national diet recommendations with climate goals

14. Halve tropical deforestation by 2025 and stop net deforestation by 2030 globally

38. Develop smart systems to integrate buildings, mobility and energy systems, including traffic management, distributed EV-charging and integrated planning processes

Personal activities

22. Join a local or national organization supporting forest and peatlands habitat conservation and restoration

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

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

31. Incentivize the installation of central cooling and heating and the use of energy efficient lighting and appliances

34. Incentivize mini-grid solutions, district heating and cooling and waste to energy systems

Infrastructure

25. Switch fleets to electric vehicles

27. Invest in and remove barriers to non-motorized mobility infrastructure, like protected bicycle lanes or paths for pedestrians

29. Retrofit public buildings

35. Plan cities for strategic density and mixed use of buildings and urban fabric, so that neighborhoods have the services they need at the local scale

36. Integrate grey, blue and green infrastructure to manage resources and runoff with minimal impact to the environment

37. Invest in physical and market infrastructure to better link rural and urban producers and consumers

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

The best way to do this would probably 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)

Goals

Could need 7+7 small efforts for understanding

%s from Industry People

Transport
