Ewa – Baltic Sea, Poland 2021Think Greener is looking forward to visiting Poland again in the next couple of months. We will continue to shine our sustainable spotlight on Poland’s steps towards a green transition. Poland is changing their mindset on how to generate power. Historically, the country has based its energy production on coal mining which has been a significant factor in the Polish economy.
Poland’s climate minister has agreed to invest in renewable energy, teaming with PGE (Polska Grupa Energetyczna) and the University of Gdansk to implement offshore wind generation in the Baltic Sea. This agreement is in collaboration with Denmark who is a leader in wind technology.
The countries surrounding the Baltic Sea have signed an agreement to collaborate and share… Continue reading
Aerial Photo – Wind Turbine Graveyard!
Siemens Gamesa, a leading supplier of wind power solutions, has launched the world’s first 100% recyclable wind turbine blade!
This is a game changer, as many of the older wind turbines are at the end of their lifecycle and destined for landfills!
Wind power is one of the key solutions helping to reverse climate change by producing electricity without using fossil fuels. The new RecycleBlades are being manufactured in Denmark and will be installed at the Kaski offshore wind power plant in Germany.
Have a look at the article to understand these amazing wind turbine blades in greater detail!

Can Plasma Change Big Ag???
Research shows, using plasma can be used as a renewable fertilizer to replace ammonia. This is a big deal, as plasma can be generated on site using solar or wind power reducing the need for transporting large amounts of ammonia. This process alone will help reverse climate change.
There are many potential agricultural benefits from plasma, such as increased yield from plants growing larger and faster, fighting off disease and harmful bugs, while preserving food.
Have you… Continue reading
Have you ever heard of a Solar Garden? Well today, Think Greener will shine our sustainable spotlight on Agrivoltaics. Pairing solar panels with farmland is a no brainer and is a glimpse into our future!
It is my pleasure to introduce Jack’s Solar Garden, a 24-acre family farm located in Colorado. The farm transformed from traditional farming, growing wheat as a cash crop and hay to feed their cattle. It is the nation’s largest commercially agrivoltaics research system and vegetation growth under solar panels.
This scalable, sustainable practice helps reduce the impact farming has on our natural resources. Farming is extremely energy intensive and creates about one third of greenhouse gas emissions and account for 85% of global water consumption. Some of the benefits of… Continue reading
