The urgency of addressing global warming has never been clearer. When you turn on the news channels or radio you will probably see or hear of some form of climate change. Lately it’s been about deadly climate-driven disasters unfolding around the world, from flash floods in Europe, North America and Asia, to intense wildfires in Siberia, to widespread persistent heat waves and droughts that threaten to upend food supplies in the U.S., Middle East and much of Africa. Hmm… scary stuff and some people don’t want to talk about it? Well, the IPCC, Think Greener and many other people around the world are taking action!
Have you ever heard of the IPCC? If not, you may want to become familiar with it. The Intergovernmental Panel… Continue reading
On June 25, 2021, I blogged about how air conditioners are an underrated aspect of the overall conversation about climate change as they are major greenhouse gas contributors and present many challenges for the world to achieve a sustainable green future. Today’s article talks about one solution to phase out traditional AC units and replace them with a heat pump.
Gradient is a US based company that has designed a plug and play heat pump that can go into a window, does not obstruct the view and utilizing climate friendly refrigerant that is about 30% more efficient than a traditional AC unit.

A new record was just set in the American history books for the hottest month of June ever recorded! Yes, that was this past June 2021. Portland Oregon set a record of 116 degrees Fahrenheit that melted power cables. British Columbia, Canada hit a sweltering 121 degrees Fahrenheit.
These are the facts of how the earth is changing and is trending to get warmer and have extreme weather events that occur at a higher frequency. Please read this short article and make sure to watch the video about how air conditioners in the built environment present a challenge for humanities existence on earth. As I mention in my earlier posts, we must not continue to design and build with old technologies, means and methods. We… Continue reading
New PV solar solution being implemented by German company. The unique, arched PV design will allow for the array to slide on a railed system offering greater flexibility for the ground beneath to be exposed to the sun for the needs of the crop. This adds to the meaning of regenerative agriculture! The solar array above can offer crops and animals protection from the harsh environment or extreme weather conditions such as hail, excess exposure to sunlight and drought allowing the harvest to be optimized. This process can be easily automated if desired.
Check out the article for further details. This new technology is expected to be available in the beautiful Netherlands come 2022.
