10 states produce 1/2 of all emissions in the US. Indiana is one of them. This is Project Drawdown for Indiana.
Farming practices show up all over Project Drawdown. This book is the textbook of the emerging “carbon farming” field. On the book’s website, the author lists introductory videos to topics like: Tree intercropping Silvopasture Managed grazing Perennial crops The Carbon Farming Solution is a book we will look back upon decades from now and wonder […]
A third of the food raised or prepared does not make it from farm or factory to fork… [This food which] we waste is responsible for roughly 8 percent of global emissions. Project Drawdown – Solution #3 Reduced Food Waste The Indiana Recycling Coalition started IFSI in 2015. Now they have working groups focused on […]
Today, 314,000 wind turbines supply nearly 4 percent of global electricity, and it will soon be much more… An increase in onshore wind from 3 to 4 percent of world electricity use to 21.6 percent by 2050 could reduce emissions by 84.6 gigatons of carbon dioxide. Project Drawdown – Solution #2 Wind Turbines (Onshore) Over […]
HFCs [are chemicals in refrigeration systems and] have 1,000 to 9,000 times greater capacity to warm the atmosphere than carbon dioxide… Because 90 percent of refrigerant emissions happen at end of life, effective disposal of those currently in circulation is essential. After being carefully removed and stored, refrigerants can be purified for reuse or transformed […]
“The Rivertown Kids Chorus, with folk icon Pete Seeger, “speak out musically” about a renewable-energy-powered future, a clean Hudson River and lessons from the past showing the power of song to change the world.”
[Rooftop] solar… can grow from .4 percent of electricity generation globally to 7 percent by 2050… Over three decades, the technology could save $3.4 trillion in home energy costs. Project Drawdown – #10 Rooftop Solar “Since 2008, the Solar Indiana Renewable Energy Network (SIREN) has been a leading educator and promoter of renewable energy and […]
Did you know we throw away 30-40% of our food? And that: The food we waste is responsible for roughly 8 percent of global emissions. Project Drawdown – #3 Reduced Food Waste Imagine you’re at a catered event. Maybe it’s a wedding, awards ceremony, or conference. Now imagine 40% of that delicious food being dumped […]
The food we waste is responsible for roughly 8 percent of global emissions. Project Drawdown – #3 Reduced Food Waste Introduction Project Drawdown is the most comprehensive plan ever proposed to reverse global warming. An international coalition of more than 200 researchers and other experts identified and modeled the 100 most substantive, already existing solutions for […]
Did you know that about 40% of all food is wasted? And that this accounts for 8% of all greenhouse gas emissions? Don’t worry, few people realized this until Project Drawdown identified reducing food waste as the third most impactful thing we can do to reverse global warming. And did you know that Indiana is […]
[Almost any building could do this] …as small as a residential unit to as big as our campus. So the potential is huge here in Indiana. Jim Lowe Introduction Project Drawdown is the most comprehensive plan ever proposed to reverse global warming. An international coalition of more than 200 researchers and other experts identified and […]
