Nearly every panel I spoke on this year ended with the same question: "What gives you hope?"
My friends, that question expired years ago. (If you need receipts, my book Saving Us is literally a 300-page answer.)
The real question is: How are you PRACTICING hope?
Because Greta is right ..

Despite negative press reporting the energy transition is well underway. In the UK, we see strong demand for electric vehicles and solar panels. And the more people learn that these technologies can offer them tangible benefits the more others will adopt them too.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

When I was first elected, evidence showed it would take 193 years to bring London's air pollution within legal limits.
Due to our policies, we've done it in 9.
In Brazil this week, we showed that cities are giving the world reason to hope when it comes to tackling the climate emergency.

I'm glad renewables are growing faster than fossil fuels, really glad. But I wish the world was making similar progress on reducing energy consumption through efficiency etc

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

If you take the time to read the whole Gates memo (which I did), the bulk of the content was mostly solid and encouraging. Really!
It was the FRAME that was off--very off, from the first line.
And when your framing is off, then how you make decisions and set priorities is off. THAT'S the problem.

The biodiversity crisis is actually scary, but, collectively, we can fix this. You can regenerate biodiversity simply by shrinking your lawn & planting native. Have a great Halloween weekend!

This post helps me to understand why Tauranga had such low EV charger density for so long..I often puzzled over it when planning a trip to Bay of Plenty
This whole bus vs EV situation has reminded me that when we lived in Tauranga if we parked our electric car outside the local pub people would corner us and start yelling about lithium or veganism or the climate hoax or whatever to the point we started taking our petrol car
