While researching Drawdown building solutions and ways to make cities more sustainable I found a lot of solutions. A Building Automation system can measure and automatically adjust all electronic systems to save energy. Alternative refrigerants can produce less greenhouse gases by reducing the use of fluorinated gases. Both of these solutions can make your building more sustainable and help you play a part in making a more sustainable society. The most interesting solution I found was the retrofit solution. With this solution efficiency, energy, and refrigerants are all addressed and switched to be more sustainable. While theres so many solutions to make your life more sustainable  and help the environment, so I am going to take what I've learned and implement them in my daily life

Day 6: Richer countries are able to devote more capital and time into producing agriculture with supplies and water. Richer countries have access to plenty of space for the wheat and other stuff, that cattle need, to grow for their nourishment. The amount of food grown for cattle is enough to feed many many families on a vegan diet, but in richer countries people have grown accustom to eating meat with every meal. With this type of diet, richer country's populations have more problems with over production of cholesterol within the body causing long term health problems. Not only is eating meat three times a day bad for our bodies but it is also bad for our environment. This excessive meat eating requires land to be turned into farming land and a lot of water that could be drank by humans is going into producing this agriculture. Societies that have a smaller economy do not have equal access to the supplies needed to sustain cattle and eat meat as much as countries with a larger economy. Richer countries also use land and resources from these smaller economy countries to produce their cattle, creating an environmental injustice pushed on these citizens in the smaller countries.
