Human objects in space are creating dangerous clutter. MIT Assistant Professor Danielle Wood advocates for sustainable space technology, stressing the need to respect both people and the environment in future missions. This approach is crucial for managing the "industrial waste" accumulating beyond Earth.

One promising solution involves a wax-based fuel for satellites, made from beeswax and candle wax. This less toxic and more affordable alternative would help bring objects closer to Earth for safe deorbiting and destruction, offering a sustainable way to address space debris.

Current renewable energy goals often create a perverse disincentive, leading organizations to purchase ineffective renewable energy certificates rather than deploying local rooftop or community solar. This approach fails to physically clean the electric grid.

A mindset shift, exemplified by the City and County of Denver, can unlock substantial investments. These funds should be reallocated to solutions that enable a physically 100% renewable electric grid and decarbonization, fostering local workforce development, utility savings, and resilient infrastructure.

Jonathan Rogers, Denver's Renewable Energy Specialist, spearheads these efforts, guiding the city towards its 2030 goal for 100% renewable electricity. This talk was presented at a TEDx event. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.
