Start rooftop gardens, cover walls in climbing plants. PLANT TREES.

It's honorable to recommend such a solution, but the reality is it won't happen. India, Pakistan, Nigeria and Ghana are too poor generally speaking to do most of this at scale.

Sure, they can and many have planted trees, but their CO2 outputs far exceed their plantings.

Its annoying that this couldnt be packaged into an ethical microfinance business where the costs sre recouped thru less ac use or the cost of some other negative externality that currently makes being poor more expensive than the good pair of workboots

I'm addition this will help, but nothing will stop global warming now. Too much money and power against it.
