What is the most effective long-term solution to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emissions?

To help reduce amount of CO2 emissions you could start by:

Walking or cycling to near distances instead of driving. It could be a win-win, you saving money on gas and helping the planet. By walking it'll help us stay active especially for lazy people "me." Recyling and reusing house hold items is another stradegy. Throwing any cans, news papers, plastic bottles, or cardboard objects into a recyling bin will help by reducing the amount of garbage getting tossed in waste lands.

i am going to guess that it is co2.

you did not attach the discourse, but i assume it to be the discourse on the origin and basis of inequality among men (the original titile in french is: "discours sur l'origine et les fondements de l'inégalité parmi les hommes"), also know as "second discourse". in this discourse, jean-jacques rousseau emphasizes that private property is the basis of all inequalities.

therefore, what enabled the old regime to maintain as long as it did was private property.
