What Would Three Billion Dollars Do?

Title: President and Founder of Green For All

Organization: Green For All looks to solve worldwide economic problems through green solutions.

The Idea: Cut down immediately on carbon emissions and support green economic solutions.

The Explanation:"A lot of carbon emissions could be eliminated right now by doing simple, mundane things — weatherizing buildings, improving public transportation, planting trees — on a massive scale. Those approaches would also create a lot of jobs and help cut family expenses right now, during a time of economic recession. Increasing the number of people who are working to green America also increases the number of people who will vote and make purchases to support a green economy. For instance, we could set up a multi-billion dollar revolving loan fund, which entire cities could use to cut emissions through mass weatherization, and repay the fund out of the savings on energy."
