Restore the Prairies, Reverse Climate Change Poster
The Project: I find that most people, aware and despairing about Climate Change, are in a state of paralysis. It is clear that simply recycling our own cans and addressing our personal “carbon footprints” alone is not enough to address the climate disasters we are experiencing and facing. Yet most of us don’t know about the robust, well-studied, and practiced solutions to climate change that already exist. My series on Climate Solutions is intended to educate and inspire real, concrete action and change. “Restore the Prairies” is the first piece in this series. A QR code is intentionally part of this image, so that viewers may scan it and be directed towards a host of resources, including concrete ways to take action and make a difference. The Solution: For thousands of years, indigenous people across the great plains and prairies of North America have stewarded the land. Their methods include cultivating and harvesting enormous herds of Bison, and regularly burning prairie grasses
