Is a paradigm shift in energy possible in time to mitigate the worst effects of climate breakdown? In this program, we look at the role of green hydrogen, whose electrolysis relies on solar and wind, as a replacement for black, gray and blue hydrogen which depend on coal or methane in such applications as airplanes, or heavy trucks. Patrick Hogan, NASA Earth scientist emeritus and John Gentile, Managing Director of Cascadia Energy Technologies discuss the possibilities with host, Dale Walkonen. Edited by Mike Coe For more information on modular green hydrogen, see https://cascadiaenergytech.com/ For more information on the state of our planet, visit the FacingFuture Library at https://facingfuture.earth/library.

There’s a revolution underway. All over the world, people are putting their energy into real actions to restore large ecosystems. #JohnLiu and Aude Peronne are in the forefront of the movement to recover degraded landscapes. Not waiting for governments or COP agreements, they and thousands of others are working with nature, whose incredible resilience offers our best hope of survival. You can join this exciting effort at Commonland and #EcosystemRestorationCommunities.

The disconnect between plastic trash and humans has been too prevalent for far too long. It is mind-blowing how much we use it, and yet many know so little about it. It has reached the extent where we do not even know where our trash goes, whether it is sorted and recycled, or simply dumped into towering mounds in landfills. And as important as these innovations and solutions to our persistent waste are, it is not nearly enough to make one switch from one straw to another. What we need is a real change, a change in our mindsets and lifestyles as we see the ever-pressing urgency of our fight against single-use trash. We just need to start with changing the way we view plastic. The disconnect between plastic trash and humans has been too prevalent for far too long. It’s funny how much we use it, and yet many know so little about it.

A new bipartisan bill, the Growing Climate Solutions Act, has been introduced in the House and Senate to help address climate change and provide farmers and foresters access to carbon sequestration credits. The House bill, H.R. 7393, is sponsored by @Congressman Don Bacon (R-NE) and Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) and eight other Republicans and Democrats. The Senate bill, S. 3894, is sponsored by Senator Mike Braun (R-IN), @Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI).

Did you know pollution of land, air, and water has had a massive role to play in the decline of species world over? So whether it’s saying no to single-use plastics, using public transport, or lobbying your local government to instigate more rigorous recycling schemes and discourage the development of coal fired power stations, do your part by limiting the harmful impacts pollution can have on the planet.

The agricultural industry is responsible for almost three quarters of tropical deforestation. The food system is not only the biggest user of land and water, it’s also the biggest single emitter of greenhouse gases. We know that we already have the ability to feed even the growing population of our planet, but to do so, we need to reconsider what we eat and how we produce it.

Intelligence is not a predictor of how we'll feel about climate change, says Stephen H. Schneider Award recipient Katharine Hayhoe. "The single most important predictor is simply where we fall on the political spectrum.... starting the conversation with a shared identity is key."

Since 1950 when mass production of plastic began, it's estimated that more than 18.2 trillion pounds of plastic have been produced to date. That's the equivalent of producing 1,714 Statues of Liberty-worth of plastic every single day for 65 years. That's a lot of plastic!

In a circular economy, upstream innovation is about tracing a problem back to its root cause and tackling it there. Why deal with a pile of waste when we can prevent it from being created in the first place? Good for the environment, good for the economy: shifting just 20% of plastic packaging from single-use to reuse is an upstream innovation opportunity worth ~USD 10 billion. These are the highlights from the episode that was streamed live on our channels on 30th March. We heard from Apeel, who disrupts food systems by extending the life of fruit and vegetables without any single-use plastic. Then we heard from Enviu who shared their reuse business models and how they are tackling plastic pollution at its source in Indonesia. These highlights make you want more?
