The Solution Is Simple.

After scaling 45 stories with no ropes and no harnesses, a lot of things look easier — even solving climate change. When Alain Robert climbed the Four Seasons hotel in Hong Kong last week, he was telling the world that stopping climate change is possible, and simpler than we think, if we join together to take action! This building free climb by the French Spiderman, Alain Robert, was to raise awareness for climate change and the fact that The Solution is Simple (Alain’s website released on his shirt while climbing)! His site The Solution is Simple offers a call to action reminding the world that global warming is “the most urgent and important issue in our lifetime”.

Is that why he picked the Four Seasons (we want to keep all four!), an glass facade building in Hong Kong? Increasing the efficiency of the world’s buildings through green design in places like Hong Kong (and all over the world) will be a crucial part of the solution. And one that can start now! There’s no need or time to wait. Alain’s climb was to remind us all that there is no time to wait for governments to continue to talk about action. We need action before Copenhagen, showing not telling our politicians that The Solution is Simple. Alain’s solutions are simple:

1) Stop cutting down trees.

2) Make everything energy-efficient.

3) Only make clean energy.

Hey! How come some people can make everything look easy?!?
