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
Before leaving my awesome job in corporate America, I was focusing on identifying solution-based projects to help combat the effects of sea level rise. Earlier this year, I left to follow my passion to bring awareness to humanity by focusing on sustainable solutions and pathways helping to reverse climate change through the power of documentary films.
Did you know, there are two major causes for rising sea levels around the world? Oceans continue to warm. They absorb about 90% of heat created from the emissions of human activity, causing the water to go through a state of thermal expansion. Due to increased melting of the polar ice caps, glaciers and ice sheets, sea level rise continues to be a major threat to our cities and… Continue reading
