Medellín, Colombia dropped its city's warming temps by a whopping 4 degrees Fahrenheit. How? They created "green corridors" of trees and plants throughout the built city. It cost $6.50 per resident, and will save the city millions of dollars each year. We need more of this!

Forests cool the planet 🆒🌳🍃 like natural #aircon. What happens when you cut them down? #Deforestation heats local areas as much as 4.5℃. Keep #forests intact for people and animals. #Boycottpalmoil #Boycott4Wildlife @palmoildetect palmoildetectives.com/2022/03/06/def…

Recent geopolitical turmoil has caused a new call for renewables to shield households from the volatile global fossil fuels market. Aside from security of energy and less reliance on the national grid, home solar provides a massive reduction in bills. renewableenergymagazine.com/pv_solar/solar…

Most of us have heard of all the classic climate change solutions. But after hearing the same things over and over again, it would be nice to mix it up a little. So, let’s explore some of the more outlandish ideas that the human imagination has dreamed up. jamaica-gleaner.com/article/commen…

Fantastic . Wish we,'d do this immediately in the US.. Mexico honoring their true Heritage Roots and taking Steps that Honor Mother Earth and Food people eat. Hurrah!!!!🌽🌽🌽💗

Globally, hydroelectricity accounts for about 7% of total energy production, while fossil fuels 81%, nuclear 4%, wind 4% and solar 3%, based on 2024 statistics from Energy Institute. However, today’s hydroelectric generation is a fraction of its potential. canadianconsultingengineer.com/features/clima…

As climate change accelerates, biodiversity declines, weakening ecosystem resilience and compromising food production. The impacts of climate change on water availability and soil contamination from pesticides is leading to further degradation. sdg.iisd.org/commentary/gue…

Crop yields have increased enormously over the past few decades. But early warning signs have arrived as crop yield rates flatline, prompting warnings of efficiency hitting its limits and the impacts of climate change taking effect. theguardian.com/environment/ng…

People think the scariest environmental sound is a hurricane or a thunderstorm. But the truly frightening sound is silence. The moment when a place that once echoed with birdsong suddenly has none. No chirping at sunrise. No wings in the trees. Just quiet.

Planting trees in cities is good for people, good for the economy and an important answer to the #climatecrisis. We have solutions, implement them. #ActOnClimate #ClimateEmergency #ClimateAction #Renewables #reforestation #nature #rewiliding #GreenNewDeal

The #Amazon is being transformed from lush #forest into charcoal. The #rainforest is burning faster than ever before, with a record number of #fires. Forests are the lungs of the earth. Every one out of two breaths come from forests. We must protect them. #ActOnClimate

By 2050 food production must rise 50% despite climate change threats like extreme weather and pests. This requires optimizing land and water use through integrated approaches enhancing soil health, employing precision agriculture and promoting biodiversity nature.com/articles/s4426…

This International Day of Action for Rivers, it’s time to let our rivers run free. Removing outdated, unnecessary dams is the most effective way to bring rivers back to life – restoring clean water, protecting communities, and letting fish and wildlife thrive again. 🔊 #TakeAction today – Sign our petition telling Congress that funding river restoration is important to you: act.americanrivers.org/page/83705/pet…

Bolivia has added nearly a million hectares to its protected areas of Amazon lowlands and Andean highlands, creating corridors intended to improve wildlife migration and maintain forest-based economies for local families. goodgoodgood.co/articles/boliv…
