"Earlier this year, GetGreen held a pilot program with students at the University of Washington where they could fund campus sustainability projects with the green 'leaves' they earned. After two months, each student completed about 30 actions, helping avoid more than 10 tons of carbon emissions."
Eclectic, Not Electric
"Attempts to lower emissions in the United States shouldn’t overlook this research. Focusing on battery-powered electric vehicles may neglect more fruitful means of emissions reduction. As the researchers write, 'the future is eclectic, not electric.'"
Could Direct Air Capture Systems Hold the Key to Reducing Carbon Emissions?
As more and more DAC schemes begin operating, it is anticipated that the overall costs involved will decrease significantly.
This 17-Year Old Created An AI-Powered App To Help Farmers The World Over
"Nathan’s goal is to continue to build out the capabilities of InvasiveAI to create a platform that will enable farmers worldwide to fight invasive species cohesively, with proper support and aid."
Bring More Reality and Less Rhetoric to Biden’s Domestic Clean-Energy Mandate

Walmart reaches halfway to Project Gigaton
"In 2020 and 2021, Walmart avoided or reduced 230 million metric tons and 416 metric tons of carbon emissions since 2017 before reaching the 574 million cumulative this year. And the 4,500 suppliers represent 70 percent of Walmart’s U.S. product sales."
How waves could power a clean energy future
"There are still many unknowns when it comes to wave energy tech, including whether costs can fall enough to become competitive with fossil fuels. Garson says that means getting to around 6 cents per kilowatt-hour, but that’s a long way way from the projected costs for current wave energy technologies, which Hales estimates are around $0.60 to $1.00 per kilowatt-hour."
The Manchin Permitting Watch
"Look around: California is struggling to avoid electricity blackouts, while America’s allies in Europe are contemplating energy rationing this winter. Another answer to Mr. Sanders is that permitting reform could also expedite transit projects or solar farms. There’s a reason the American Wind Energy Association celebrated President Trump’s permitting changes."
The Left’s Power Shortage
"Forcing citizens to become ever more reliant on electricity that isn’t forthcoming isn’t only poor governance or inept management. These policies are the fruit of a radical progressive ideology that sees human beings as burdens and prosperity as blight."
A natural ally for climate resilience, disaster mitigation
"Natural infrastructure solutions, as National Wildlife Federation Chief Scientist Bruce Stein laid out, are often not only more cost-effective than traditional gray infrastructure, but they also can endure and recover from disasters better than human-made structures."
