The Netherlands is researching new solutions to help solar parks have a positive impact on the land underneath. Solar parks are installed and designed to last for about 25 years. As a result of this process the reduction of sunlight has negative effects on the soil below.
Check out this article and learn about two new solutions being tested in the Netherlands that provide a 77% ground cover ratio for crops and almost 100% of the soil receives sufficient sunlight at a higher degree of coverage.
The Netherlands is definitely Thinking Greener!

Blue carbon solutions sequester a tremendous amount of CO2 and make up many of the Earth’s highest carbon sinks. Blue carbon helps to fight against coastal sea level rise, reduce the impacts from severe storms and provide habitats for fisheries while acting as carbon sinks!
What is blue carbon? It is the natural process by which biological carbon is captured by animals and plants living in or near the oceans. Did you know that blue carbon makes up more than half of the worlds biological carbon? Also, mangrove forests can store up to four times more carbon than a tropical rainforest and seagrass meadows can store nearly 20 gigatons of carbon worldwide!

Here is another outer space solution helping to reverse climate change on earth. Please check out this educational and eye-opening article titled: The search for the world’s largest methane sources.
Technology has advance to a point where satellites can now detect large leaks of methane around the world in any location that used to go unnoticed. Did you know that 60% of the world’s methane is produced by humans causing at least 25% of today’s global warming? Also, its short-term global warming effect on earth is 80 times greater than CO2.
These are big numbers that can be quickly reduced with the help of this new solution!

Here is a different thought process for you to think about!
Implementing sustainable and renewable energy solutions requires intensive mining operations that deplete Mother Earth’s finite resources such as green minerals like cobalt, nickel, copper, silver, aluminum, cadmium, and other rare minerals.
When extracting these precious raw materials from the earth’s crust to create different sustainable solutions like solar & wind energy, the world cannot make the same mistakes they did with fossil fuels. In order not to repeat our history and have a successful green economy, we must put equality for human rights in the for front and replace the almighty greed of making money and establishing power with focusing on living in harmony with Mother Earth.
Thankfully, the Biden administration and many other… Continue reading
