Shaping climate action on a local scale! 🏔️ Boulder County partners with Carbon Direct to develop impactful carbon removal strategies. Christian Herrmann, Climate Communications Specialist, shares: "Carbon Direct's science-based approach helps us select projects with the greatest lasting impact on our community." After the Marshall Fire highlighted the urgent need for local climate solutions, Boulder County took the lead. Through their Climate Innovation Fund, they set an example for local governments, emphasizing the integration of carbon removal projects into sustainability plans. In collaboration with Carbon Direct and the #4CornersCarbonCoalition, Boulder County presents a joint report, outlining best practices for place-based carbon dioxide removal (CDR) projects. #CarbonRemoval #ClimateAction #Boulder #BoulderColorado #Colorado #ClimateChange #LocalGov https://lnkd.in/gwuFwrGr

At Carbon Direct, we believe that scientific expertise is critical to both effective and efficient carbon management – yet it can often be challenging to access outside of the academic and public sectors.

Very important insights coming out of this new Ecosystem Marketplace report, which found carbon credits are associated with businesses decarbonizing faster. In particular, the study reveals that businesses purchasing voluntary carbon are more likely to report lower gross emissions year-on-year, and invest more in emissions reductions, than companies not engaged in carbon markets.

This blog post from our guest blogger, Parker Rosenthal, reflects on the grim outlook of Earth's future, likening it to a post-apocalyptic scenario influenced by climate change. Parker, a student of environmental engineering, expresses doubts about the impact of her chosen field amidst political influences favoring fossil fuel industries. Despite feeling overwhelmed, she maintains a sense of responsibility and hope, emphasizing the need for individual and collective action to combat climate change. Parker advocates for transitioning to renewable energy sources and reducing consumption to mitigate environmental degradation, emphasizing the significance of every individual's contribution in addressing the crisis. Despite acknowledging the severity of the situation, she remains hopeful, seeing optimism as a form of resistance against environmental decline and emphasizing the urgency of action to secure a sustainable future for generations to come.

Mis- and Disinformation online isn't just bad content that should be called out or taken down, it's the output of a systems problem. In this blog for Green Alliance, Oliver Hayes of Global Action Plan outlines how this threatens #climateaction and what green groups and their members need to do to ensure it doesn't derail the #netzerotransition

We already use all of our food waste- with the grinder into the bio-digester, which then fuels class BBQ’s. Plastic waste is shredded into artistic wildlife sculptures, dinnerware, or plastic cable for 3d Printers. The implications are HUGE. Finally, these small machines that help us repurpose waste could be a vital part of urban development and eco-justice, creating job opportunities and products for disadvantaged communities through the U.S. Imagine instead of ordering from amazon, your local kids can make your 3d printed phone case! Instead of paying more for Waste Management companies who struggle to deal with sorting/ cleaning/ and repurposing waste, we see the value in reusing EVERYTHING. For example, Publix Grocery stores saved a significant amount by buying the 3-d printers for their store labeling. They could easily purchase recycled plastic cable for such printers! Finally, USF is now Top 10 for Fulbright Scholars. But we really need to win this competition at Arizona State to expand the Waste Not, Want Not program. Go Bulls!
