Advocates say the carbon footprint of bioplastics is better than fossil fuel - derived alternatives, which is true, but as «Life Without Plastic» points out, there's the added issue of supporting genetically modified corn production, which currently provides most material for bioplastics.

We could start by phasing out all subsidies for the production of fossil fuels and ethanol.

With the conventional chip bag, you're taking fossil based fuels out of the ground, and converting them into packaging with the associated generation of green house gas to the atmosphere during that production process.

The present most rapid pathway for carbon emissions reductions involves an urgent build - out of renewable and non-carbon based energy systems to replace all fossil fuels with a focus on wind, solar, and electrical vehicle economies of scale and production chains.

Some depend on fossil fuel production, and others perceive fossil fuel development as the only route out of extreme poverty, even as others have begun to pursue a more sustainable future.

It calls for «immediate and ambitious action to stop exploration and expansion of fossil fuel projects and manage the decline of existing production» and notes that «the carbon embedded in existing fossil fuel production will take us far beyond safe climate limits» and «many existing projects will need to be phased - out faster than their natural decline.»

However, the suggested timeline for phasing out existing production, «a full transition away from fossil fuels will take decades», belies the urgency of tackling the climate emergency.

As such, Earth Island Institute is joining more than 700 organizations calling on Governor Brown to prohibit further permitting of fossil fuel extraction and related activities, and to phase - out existing production in line with the Paris Climate Accord.

New Zealand claim a top spot for rather hilariously, or not, urging countries to phase out fossil fuel subsidies while shelling out big bucks to prop up fossil fuel production to the tune of $ 80 million.

In addition to being used to simply produce cyclic carbonates, North believes it could also be retrofitted on coal - fired plants: «If our catalyst could be employed at the source of high - concentration CO2 production, for example in the exhaust stream of a fossil - fuel power station, we could take out the carbon dioxide, turn it into a commercially - valuable product and at the same time eliminate the need to store waste CO2.»

The challenges for Germany will be accelerating that transition, phasing out coal production, meeting the ambitious goals of the Paris Agreement, and ensuring that this movement to clean energy is a just and fair one for the country's many fossil fuel workers.
