Game Changer
Plant Based Rebar!
Recently, the United Nations released a climate report written by IPCC announcing climate change is devastating the planet faster than humans can adapt! As the earth continues to warm, we are faced with the harsh reality that countries are not taking enough action to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gasses.
The effects are clearly visible around the globe, as extreme weather events displaced more than 13 million people across Africa and Asia in 2019. Unprecedented storms creating floods displaced millions of people from their homes. Diseases like dengue and malaria are spreading into new parts of the world. The rising heat is creating deadly droughts killing crops and trees while putting millions of people at risk of increased malnutrition… Continue reading
Serbia Thinking Greener
With LIQUID3 CO2 – O2
Sustainable solutions come in many forms and sizes as indicated in my blogs. I am proud to spotlight Serbia’s effort to bring climate change awareness and carbon sequestration to the heart of their capital city, Belgrade in the form of an outdoor urban photo bioreactor that uses the process of photosynthesis to convert Carbon Dioxide (CO2) to Oxygen (O2)!
Wow… sounds complicated and expensive. This tech, called LIQUID3 is not so complicated and is also financially feasible. LIQUID3 is the solution! It is a safe, simple, and inexpensive technology serving as an educational component implemented into the city’s streetscape. LIQUID3 sequestration of carbon contributes to the reduction of Greenhouse Gasses (GHG) in the air… Continue reading
Mitigating Sea Level Rise
While Thinking About the Ecosystem
As the earth continues to warm and our oceans rise due to melting glaciers and ice caps, humanity faces another existential threat! When water warms, it expands contributing to the rise in sea level. We are already dealing with a rising tide in many parts of the world. About 40% of the population lives near the coast and we are trying to find ways to mitigate this problem.
ECOncrete formed in 2012 to help combat the rising tides eroding the shoreline as water penetrates and travels further inland causing devastation to wildlife habitats and human existence. ECOncrete has accomplished this by designing and manufacturing a new standard for marine concrete. It is a strong and resilient… Continue reading
Poland Adopts
Floating PV Technology
Today marks seven weeks of continuous travel for Think Greener, LLC through the EU and twenty-three weeks for 2021! Along the way, we met many people from different levels of society implementing sustainable solutions around the world, contributing to reversing the effects of the climate crisis we all face.
I write this blog from the beautiful city of Lubin, Poland where snow lies on the ground and the Christmas Market’s lights bring cheer to all as we are amongst the holiday season. Poland, known for its cold and lengthy winters is making a new claim as it transitions away from coal-fired power plants. The country is focusing on renewable energy, biodiversity, sustainability, and climate neutrality as it strives towards the… Continue reading
