There are many paths to reducing #ghg greenhouse gas emissions. @projectdrawdown.bsky.social's Christina Swanson describes levers for individuals to make systemic change. Even as federal policy regresses, many other levers still exist! Where can you make a difference? drawdown.org/insights/all...

We love, love, love ourselves a good city climate action plan. Case in point: Vienna, Austria. Engaged stakeholders (citizenry, scientists, city leadership); enthusiasm; confidence; optimism. Looking forward to a deeper dive.

Looking for the biggest levers to reduce #GHG greenhouse gas emissions? Have a look at this graphic. It's why #Energy and #Transportation are two of our pillars at #SustainableStillwaterMN (the others are Environment and Economy). ourworldindata.org/ghg-emission...

Keeping in mind that this is still a very small fraction of the overall energy consumption mix, we are cautiously optimistic about this trend.

Words to live by this #BlackHistoryMonth and always.

"Where you see wrong or inequality or injustice, speak out—because this is your country. This is your democracy. Make it. Protect it. Pass it on."

How does #foodwaste connect to #climatechange? According to the #EPA, the annual emissions caused by wasted food in the US are greater than the emissions from all domestic flights + all int'l flights by US airlines. Wasting less food probably easier than curtailing air travel.... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
February 19, 2025 at 2:29 AM
According to 2019 data, #foodwaste made up 66 *million* tons of municipal solid waste; ~40M tons went to landfills. The food Americans waste each year requires an area of land the size of CA and NY to produce. Surely we can do better... starting in our own households! www.epa.gov/facts-and-fi...

Composting food is definitely better than throwing it in the trash, but the very best way to reduce food waste... is to not create it at all. Where does your household sit on the #EPA #foodwaste scale?
