We are taking a little break from our series on air conditioning and its environmental impacts to bring you some important intel on recent federal legislation. The Inflation Reduction Act passed in the Senate, the House, and President Biden just made it all official by signing it into law! What does it mean for the Planet? Read on to find out!
In our last blog we talked about how mechanical air conditioning as we know it is bad for the environment, but with increasingly hot summers we also depend on it more to stay cool. How do we break this cycle? There are some passive (non-mechanical) things we can do to help regulate temps. Read on to learn more!
It’s getting hot in here! The hotter it gets, the more we need air conditioning, and the more air conditioning we use, the more greenhouse gases we emit, and the more greenhouse gases we emit, the hotter our climate gets and the more we need air conditioning… and so it goes. Read more to understand this never-ending feedback loop and what we can do about it!
Electricity is a basic human need. In the second post of our 2-part blog, we are exploring the possibilities for microgrids to better and brighten the lives of refugees in Rwanda. Providing reliable energy empowers communities and creates economic benefits that lift refugees out from under the poverty trap.
Energy poverty is a struggle faced by people around the world and a barrier to prosperity and health in refugee camps. Recent advancements in microgrid technology can provide sustainable electricity and clean water, which gives refugees the resources to work, study, run a business and avoid harmful cooking fumes. In this 2-part blog, we are exploring Rwanda and sub-Saharan Africa to address disparities in refugee camps and dive into the solutions that microgrids can provide in these communities and beyond.
Hopefully you’ve seen RUN-GJC partners in the news and heard about the clean, community microgrids the team has been working on since 2016. The microgrids have come a loooong way since then and recently hit a big milestone: staff was hired! Sari Kayyali is the new Microgrid Manager for GreenRoots and Chinatown Power, Inc., the organizations anchoring each project. Tune in as we get to hear from Sari himself!
The short story? We must change the way we consume meat. Cows produce A LOT of methane; over a quarter of human-induced methane emissions in the U.S. come from the agricultural industry. But in the meantime, a seaweed-supplemented diet for cows has been shown to dramatically reduce their methane production. Continue reading to learn more.
