Mobile homes could be a climate solution, a new report argues. Mobile homes are more energy-efficient, affordable, and adaptable than conventional homes. They could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, housing inequality, and disaster vulnerability.

And to Russ Mitchell's point, if you're getting an #EV because it's a fancy new toy, perhaps reconsider your why, as #consumption and #affluence go hand in hand with the #ClimateEmergency.
But also, as I hear again and again from climate scientists, we must stop burning fossil fuels. The burning is our biggest problem.
Do EVs still get power from fossil fuel-run plants? Yup. But that will soon change.
There's no perfect #ClimateSolution. But a used or rented EV is a great place to start.

I try to post at least one #ClimateProgress and/or #ClimateSolution story daily.
Today's main story of course is the one year anniversary of Biden's Inflation Reduction Act, a transformative climate bill that ignited a trillion-dollar plus wave of incentives to transition the US to #cleanenergy
Today, it’s impact is undeniable:
💰$278 billion in clean energy investments
👷170,000+ new jobs
And more! https://rmi.org/its-the-iras-first-birthday-here-are-five-areas-where-progress-is-piling-up/

Scientists have proposed a bizarre new solution to the climate crisis: tropical algae and a lot of poop. The idea is to fertilize the ocean with iron-rich animal faeces, stimulating algae growth that absorbs carbon dioxide. The algae would then sink to the bottom of the ocean, taking the carbon with them and reducing the greenhouse effect. #ClimateSolution #AlgaePower #PoopFertilizer https://www.sciencefocus.com/news/bizarre-new-solution-to-climate-crisis-involves-tropical-algae-and-a-whole-lot-of-poop?amp=&utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FArchetypes

Transparent Monitoring, Verification, and Reporting of carbon dioxide removal is a #ClimateSolution no matter what the fossil fuel industry and others do in order to greenwash using carbon offsets.
There is too much greenhouse gas in our thin, precious atmosphere and while of course we have to stop burning fossil fuels and releasing other greenhouse gases we still owe it to our planet to do all we can to lower the concentration of CO2 as best we can imo.
Who agrees? https://puro.earth/accelerate/novocarbo-future-carbon-removal-grevesmuehlen-100142

I've offset myself to net-zero and I wish that more people would so that my children would have a better chance of inheriting a stable climate.
Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification of #CarbonOffsets and the new Democratic policies supporting direct air capture of carbon dioxide for #CCUS is a major and necessary #ClimateSolution regardless of Joe Romm's antagonism.

Virtual Power Plants are a game changing #ClimateSolution
Frictionless enrollment is key to unlocking the full potential of #VPPs. EnergyHub & Tesla Powerwalls have enabled ConnectedSolutions enrollment via the Tesla app in New England.

The best part? #RegenerativeAgriculture as a #ClimateSolution doesn't require any resources aside from education. It actually reduces the labor, fossil fuels required to plow, fertilizer needs, herbicide and pesticide use, etc.
Once farmers adopt #NoTill and see the benefits, they usually go on to more and more #Permaculture solutions. Eventually adding animals like poultry and sheep that weed and fertilize for them while adding additional revenue streams for #resiliency to markets.

The #ClimateSolution I'll post this morning is that we need to talk more about what people can do to stop burning fossil fuels and that Exxon wants for you not to vote. #GOTV
Putting #BioChar into concrete mixes is a definite #ClimateSolution and would be a good place to start putting pyrolyzed plastic waste too imo.
I haven't read this whole review article so not sure how close we might be towards drawing down gigatons of carbon dioxide to mitigate our #ClimateCrisis and then sequestering it into the cement we need to use to build buildings and infrastructure necessary to adapt to the #GlobalWarming we've caused. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0958946523002780

Induction is a #ClimateSolution that will help us to reduce fossil fuel use in industrial activities too.
There is absolutely nothing that should take priority in anyone's life besides decarbonizing their lifestyles as quickly as they possibly can.
Providing examples to others is the #ClimateAction that is a win/win #ClimateSolution
Anyways, here's one of the last articles I can provide free access to from my subscription this month.
It provides a lot of evidence supporting the thesis I propose in this post. https://wapo.st/3rSvtLd

Dear Friends,
#ClimateDiary 1/2
This is what proactive wildfire management can look like. Trees are thinned, bottom story shrubs and debris are culled. Prevents #wildfires from spreading along the ground and subsequent flaring from tree tops. This generally makes fires easier to contain, manage or control over time.

Dear @deepmud
Rope! Little things like that are part of the #ClimateSolution.
Small window is like mulberry trees. They are about three days worth of decent fruit, most of it staining the ground by the time I see it.

This #climatesolution is ignored far more deeply and widely than it should be. It is much cheaper and more effective than much of what humans are doing about this topic and has many other benefits beyond climate. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jul/04/improving-farming-soil-carbon-store-global-heating-target
How to get more women on bikes? Better biking infrastructure, designed by women
Who would've thought infrastructure (or in many cases the lack there of) is preventing more people from cycling. Some great points that could be easily addressed to get more people cycling, from better infra to offering tax breaks for ebikes.

Yeah, nuclear power is a #ClimateSolution /s
But at least Georgia did better than South Carolina. That seditious state only got a hole in the ground for their ten billion dollar investment.

Great piece in @GreenBiz by @greentechlady featuring one of our Launchpad program teams, @CapturaCO2, and their work to better understand and advance direct ocean capture as a possible #climatesolution. More on our Launchpad program: http://oceanvisions.org/launchpad
