Climate activists have been gaining traction in their fight to get people to understand the urgency of addressing climate change. But truly tackling the "how" takes the inventor bundling up in her parka each year to study ice-saving technology in the arctic, the bespectacled North Idaho engineer tinkering away to create solar panels you can drive on, and the best and brightest thinkers putting their wildest ideas through rigorous computer modeling to ask "what if we did that?"
Here are 17 of their innovative ideas that just might help us save the planet.
