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!
Think Greener Living Outside The Box
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
The time has come to welcome a new revolution regarding renewable energy! I always knew we would get there, although it has been a steep slope to climb with phasing out the world’s dependency on fossil fuels. Humanities work to restore our ecosystem is not done yet. We must continue to educate and promote sustainability and equal human rights to create a just future! Now more than ever, we have a global commitment to help reverse climate change. With buy in from governments around the world the existing solutions and pathways are being adopted on a global scale. In previous blogs, Think Greener shines the spotlight on new solutions that are on the horizon. All these new pathways are allowing for the traditional means of… Continue reading
