Physicist John Holdren, former U.S. Science Advisor, once said, “We basically have three choices: mitigation, adaptation, and suffering. We’re going to do some of each. The question is what the mix is going to be. The more mitigation we do, the less adaptation will be required and the less suffering there will be.”
These words capture the stark reality of our climate crisis, making the urgency to act even greater. The choices we make today—whether as individuals, businesses, or policymakers—will directly determine the balance between how much we mitigate, how much we adapt, and ultimately, how much we suffer in the future.
At WexEnergy, we’re committed to playing our part in creating a sustainable future by providing solutions that address both mitigation and adaptation. Our product, WexWindows™, is an innovative and cost-effective way to improve the energy efficiency of existing windows in commercial and residential buildings. By adapting older windows to reduce heat loss and energy waste, WexWindows reduces reliance on fossil fuels, thereby mitigating the climate crisis through lower carbon emissions.
But the benefits of WexWindows don’t stop at mitigation. They also help buildings adapt to the demands of a changing world, where energy efficiency is essential for cost savings and resilience. By installing WexWindows, developers and property managers can cut operating costs, provide better comfort for tenants, and future-proof their buildings for the challenges ahead.
The question is: What are you choosing to do?
Every decision counts. Whether we adopt energy-efficient technologies, switch to renewable energy sources, or rethink how we use resources, the actions we take today determine how much additional adaptation we will need tomorrow and the suffering we have avoided.
At WexEnergy, we believe the time to act is now. By prioritizing smart, scalable solutions, we can build a future where mitigation and adaptation take center stage—minimizing unnecessary suffering and creating a sustainable, comfortable, and efficiently built environment for generations to come.
The choice is in your hands. What steps will you take today to protect tomorrow?
