• Question: If you discovered a way to reduce carbon emissions by 18th November 2020 and it could almost stop carbon emissions and earned millions from it, would you start your own engineering company dedicated to keeping carbon emissions at a low or stay with your current company and continue your field of work there?

      Great question! I think I’d have to start the new company, even if I didn’t earn millions from it. Climate change is one of the greatest threats to the future of our planet, so I’d make sure I would do everything I could to make sure my plan to reduce carbon emissions worked out.

      Probably I would focus on stopping carbon emissions because yes there is a lot of money to be made as it’s a global problem! However truly I believe it is impossible to stop it and live in the society we have created so it’s all about minimizing it with new technologies and taking some personal responsibility also!

      Nice question! As the other guys have said I would definitely have to go for it.

    Thanks! I agree with you on starting the company no matter what as it means that it will be easier to protect the planet and give newly planted trees an opportunity to grow and make a difference against climate change.
