Globally, we're putting up a coal-fired power plant's worth of solar power every fifteen hours and last year, 96% of demand was met by renewables. And yes, AI gobbles power like PacMan, but new configuration could dramatically reduce demand. Sign up! rachellincolnsarnoff.substack.com

And just like that it’s sunscreen season again! If you’re stocking up, avoid chemical blockers like oxybenzone (aka Parsol 1789), which can disrupt hormones and damage coral reefs.

This is my all-time favorite tree. It shades our house in the summer and in the winter it’s covered with tiny white blossoms that fall like snow. Happy Earth Day, everyone.
