It's nice to see @davidho post a message supporting #ClimateHope finally (maybe I've missed others amidst all his doomism posts perhaps), but yes we live in a capitalistic economy so it should surprise no one that capitalism is making the most progress towards decarbonization.

For example, probably the most GHG reduction in the USA was accomplished by Bloomberg's Beyond Coal campaign with the "capitalist" Sierra Club.

Anyways, investing in net zero is our best hope. https://mastodon.world/@davidho/110999989063511893

For news and stories to share #ClimateHope, check out the #ClimateProgress or #ClimateSolutions hashtags.

For example, by replacing 15% of the sand typically used in concrete with coffee biochar, researchers find that the addition enhanced the strength by 29.3%.

Sequestering food waste as #BioChar in #Concrete is a way to use an adaptation to #GlobalWarming as a mitigation strategy too! win/win #WeCanDoThis https://amp.theguardian.com/science/2023/aug/23/full-of-beans-scientists-use-processed-coffee-grounds-to-make-stronger-concrete

A UK focused look at what keeps some of their leading #climate workers positive in the face of recent news. https://www.positive.news/environment/climate-leaders-on-what-brings-them-hope/ #climatehope

I would like the #ClimateHope hashtag to trend some day.

I see a lot of change in Germany.

After experimenting with cheap public transport last year (a monthly ticket for ALL local transport in Germany was only €9 for 3 months, yes, subsidized) we now have the DE-ticket, which covers ALL local traffic for €49 in subscriptions.

Many people are using it to shift from cars to buses or trains.

My town has started using E-buses and has shifted the local small ferries to E-Boats (and the fare is included in the DE-Ticket).

I know that the timelines of most people that are concerned about our #ClimateCrisis are filled with stories of doom and gloom, but there are many of us working towards #ClimateSolutions

Anyways, #DAC provides #ClimateHope

With a nominal CO₂ capture capacity of up to 36’000 tons per year when fully operational, Mammoth is a key milestone on Climeworks' ambitious scale-up plan of reaching multi-megaton capacity in the 2030s and gigaton capacity by 2050. https://climeworks.com/news/climeworks-mammoth-construction-update-jul23

I'm delighted to discover this online interactive story that's partially inspired by the anthology I co-edited, MULTISPECIES CITIES!

Thought I would repost this thread now it isn’t the holiday weekend any more!

Thank you so much to everyone who has spread the word about this little 501c3 and its mission to make the world more resilient and better, one tree, one community, one food web, and one square foot of soil at a time! If you don’t know what I’m talking about, read on below to learn about my friend’s #ClimateHope #ClimateAction non-profit :)
🌱🌰🌳🌏

https://pie.gd/@faerye/110640635078564728

Please, plant a little #climatehope, education, and #climateaction by funding @BuildSoil !

http://buildsoil.net/ or http://ko-fi.com/buildsoil — one-time or monthly giving

http://venmo.com/buildsoil or http://paypal.me/buildsoiloffice for one-time gifts

And they’re on Benevity if your employer is on that!

And if you can’t give, please plant a tree, mulch your soil, or kill your lawn: that’s what Build Soil is about: spreading knowledge of ways to improve #resiliency by improving our local ecosystems!

My friend @BuildSoil is #fundraising for his small but mighty 501c3, Build Soil. In case you aren’t familiar with him, he’s a landscape ecologist who calls for practical, greening #ClimateAction and thinks in big systems! He is a wonderful educator and source of #ClimateHope.

Build Soil’s first big project is a distributed push to plant edible chestnut trees in communities worldwide! I am growing trees to give away and I’m one of the volunteers that helps with the org’s yard nursery :)

#ClimateDiary 24th May 2023.

#TyphoonMawar is battering #Guam with 220km/hour winds. Meanwhile police are raiding the households of #LetzteGeneration protesters in #Germany. A new study finds that #Chevron’s #Offsetting scheme is worthless, may even be detrimental. But also a small sign of #ClimateHope? #Shell #shareholders reject Shell’s #EnergyTransition plan after protesters disrupt their meeting

#ClimateDiary for today a happy post: i met up in person with @bridgetmck , founder of the great #ClimateMuseum, where we are linking #ClimateDiary to their #ExtremeWeather stories project. It was just so nice to meet an online connection in person, and we ended up discussing a few other ideas for possible joint projects together too #ClimateWeaving #ClimateAction #ClimateHope

@MaQuest @pvonhellermannn "Some days we just have to sit back and appreciate the beauty that we hope to save." That's a nice and true thought.

In that spirit, here's my Admiral of Climate Action. She knew to land gorgeously on precisely the right few millimeters of Earth during our council's outdoor 2030 Now exhibition that promoted the city's actions to be a carbon-neutral Smart City by 2030.

@pvonhellermannn You do wonderful work raising our awareness and sharing knowledge and hope. It is absolutely ok and good to look away and take a thinking break from it all. It is so overwhelming. Thanks for sharing all the #ClimateHope news that you do - it boosts and motivates!

#ClimateDiary i am posting this article here now - about #Drought in #Germany, where #Water loss is amongst the world’s largest. But i am finding it all difficult just now. Week on week, day after day hard-hitting #ClimateNews - it’s getting to me and i am not sure how good it is to keep on posting all this. Will try and focus on
#ClimateHope for a bit if I can
