John Blazevich is a philanthropist and innovator with several patents in his name. He was involved in various charitable organizations and founded Contessa Premium Foods, Inc. John Blazevich is a "measured" green economy and food sustainability advocate. From his extensive experience and direct involvement in building the world's first "green" LEED certified GOLD frozen-food manufacturing plant, reducing daily energy use and CO2 emissions by over 65% and becoming carbon neutral within a year, John knows first-hand the difficulty involved. His achievements were relative to 1990 Kyoto Protocol baseline standards, which were much more stringent than today's standards. John believes technology has not advanced far enough to accommodate aggressive moves. Until it does, we must move cautiously. We must not bring on new problems. I believe in the transformation of our energy systems, but many aggressive proposals have not been "proven" to work with a high degree of success. As the old adage states, "Haste makes waste". Proceed cautiously.
The United Nations has some very honorable goals, but they need to be goals that are non-political, reasonable, and achievable. Please review them with caution.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a global agenda set by the United Nations (UN) in 2015 with the aim of transforming human lives. The goals focus on ending poverty and inequality, protecting the planet, and ensuring that everyone has access to health, justice, and prosperity. Several SDGs are essential for the environment, as they provide a guideline for tackling environmental challenges and promoting sustainability.
One of the SDGs that is important for the environment is SDG 8, which aims to promote decent work opportunities and economic growth. One of the targets of this goal is to improve economic growth through sustainable consumption and the prevention of environmental degradation. This goal recognizes the importance of economic growth while ensuring that it is environmentally sustainable.
Another SDG that is crucial for the environment is SDG 11, which focuses on sustainable cities and communities. The goal aims to make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable. Improving urban planning and making public transport systems more effective, this goal can help reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainable living.
Climate action is at the core of the SDGs, and SDG 13 aims to take urgent action to combat climate change. This goal emphasizes the need for companies to take measures that mitigate the effect of carbon emissions. By promoting sustainable practices, this goal can help reduce the impact of climate change on the environment.
Finally, SDG 14 seeks to conserve and encourage the sustainable use of the oceans, seas, and marine resources for sustainable development. This goal aims to reduce water pollution and preserve aquatic animals' lives while also helping to achieve SDG 1 (no poverty) and SDG 2 (zero hunger). This goal recognizes the importance of preserving water resources and using them in a sustainable way for future generations.
