Do we have Resiliently measure in place to withstand the effects of Henri?

How do communities and people manage climate risk so everyone can prosper rather than be a victim. The rain is coming down hard this morning and hurricane Henri is expected to make landfall this afternoon here in the US. The epicenter could possibly hit Southampton, Long Island where I have close friends living near the shoreline. They are saying it’s another perfect storm with a full moon and two hightide cycles to go through.
It’s been close to 30 years since the last major hurricane took this path and caused devastating damage to the power grid leaving people without electricity for weeks. Last night as the hurricane was creeping closer, I was… Continue reading

Sustainable Home

Thankfully, America has entered the race of achieving a zero-emissions economy free from carbon pollution by 2050. This will require rethinking many facets of our current lifestyles. The residential sector of 128 million homes in America must be delt with by reducing the energy consumption and emissions. The future housing stock needs to be more energy efficient while implementing new solutions to help us win the race!

Green Steel is an Important Tool Help Combat Climate Change

A Swedish steel manufacturing plant has figured out a way to produce steel without using coal! As you are aware, steel is used for everything from construction and engineering to car parts and much more.
Green Steel is what they are calling it. It has been adopted by Volvo as a trial run to manufacture trucks and later swing into full production in 2026. This sustainable solution is derived by replacing coal needed to heat the steel with renewable energy and hydrogen! This scalable solution could… Continue reading

Stop Governments From Subsidizing Fossil Fuels

The fossil fuel industry has been a major contributor to global warming and exploitation of workers, communities, and our environment. The utilization of fossil fuels leads to a high concentrations of air pollution that typically affects indigenous, brown, black, and working-class communities. Here in the USA, an estimated 350,000 deaths are caused every year by these industries. Our own taxes are paying billions of dollars every year to support the function of these large powerful corporations that poison our communities and destroy our climate.
It is time for all of us to come together in collaboration with our governments to divest from systems of exploitation and extraction of fossil fuels and begin investing in renewable energy and scalable solutions… Continue reading
