Social entrepreneur Ruth von Heusinger demonstrates how capitalism can combat climate change. Her non-profit, ForTomorrow, founded in December 2019, enables individuals to purchase European CO2-emission rights. This makes influencing the European economy's carbon footprint as simple as online shopping.

A physicist with prior experience in renewable energies and emissions trading, Ruth established ForTomorrow to create a direct impact in Europe. In her TEDx talk, she explains the EU emission trading system and how individual actions can make a tangible difference. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.

Geothermal energy, despite lower carbon emissions than coal, is not benign. Projects like Nevada's proposed Baltazor site highlight significant environmental and social costs. Geothermal development leads to habitat destruction (e.g., in Kenya and for Nevada's Dixie Valley toad) and violent evictions of indigenous communities.

Drilling releases toxic elements like mercury, arsenic, and boron into groundwater. Facilities also cause air pollution, including sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, contributing to acid rain and health issues, as seen in Iceland. Moreover, "enhanced geothermal systems" (EGS) utilize fracking technology, injecting high-pressure slurries that can poison groundwater and induce earthquakes, mirroring problems in the oil and gas industry.
