10 states produce 1/2 of all emissions in the US. Indiana is one of them. This is Project Drawdown for Indiana.
Since starting Indiana Drawdown, people from around the world asked, “How can I do this where I live?” I posted this in the Drawdown Facebook group, and a few days later about 12 people convened. Below is a recording of our meeting, who was in attendance, actions each of us agreed to before we meet […]
A third of the food raised or prepared does not make it from farm or factory to fork. Producing uneaten food squanders a whole host of resources—seeds, water, energy, land, fertilizer, hours of labor, financial capital—and generates greenhouse gases at every stage—including methane when organic matter lands in the global rubbish bin. The food we […]
The building sector worldwide uses approximately 32 percent of all energy generated; more than one-third of that is for heating and cooling. Maximum efficiency in heating and cooling could cut energy use by 30 to 40 percent. The means to increase efficiency are at hand, and one technology stands out from the rest: heat pumps… […]
If cattle were their own nation, they would be the world’s third-largest emitter of greenhouse gases. Plant-rich diets reduce emissions and also tend to be healthier, leading to lower rates of chronic disease. According to a 2016 study, business-as-usual emissions could be reduced by as much as 70 percent through adopting a vegan diet and […]
Project Drawdown‘s first international conference was Sept 16-18, 2019. Only a few who wanted to attend could. And in Indiana alone, millions of people are beginning to care deeply about global warming. They will wish they had been there, as well, once they appreciate both the crisis we’re in and the solutions Project Drawdown offers. […]
…net zero buildings are a mosaic of separate solutions. They draw on smart windows; green roofs; efficient heating, cooling, and water systems; better insulation; distributed energy and storage; and advanced automation… Project Drawdown – #79 Net Zero Buildings Introduction Project Drawdown is the most comprehensive plan ever proposed to reverse global warming. An international coalition of […]
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 […]
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 […]
[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 […]
