MFP recognizes the threat to all life forms on the planet posed by the increase in carbon dioxide. Human activities, especially since the industrial revolution, have caused this climate change. MFP works in conjunction with like-minded organizations to preserve a livable world for future generations.
The keys to slowing down the increase of carbon dioxide (CO2) include the following
Reducing – and over time eliminating – the use of fossil fuels
Developing sources of renewable energy that do not produce CO2 or radioactive wastes: wind, solar, wave action, tidal action, thermal, biomass, and more!
Developing more efficient and affordable ways to store energy;
Increasing energy efficiency.
