What does World Earth day mean to you?
The United Nations recently released a new report detailing the catastrophic impacts of climate change. Half of the world’s population is threatened by water shortages; extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and severe; and more than 14 percent of the world’s species are at high risk of extinction as global temperatures rise. We are all asked to invest into our planet.
BUT there are also good news: The Empire State Building and 13 large buildings are now exclusively powered by wind.
The price of solar electricity has dropped 89% in 10 years. For the first time, electric and hybrid vehicles outsold diesel vehicles in Europe. New reflective streets are helping cool down neighborhoods, reduce emissions, and keep people healthy. YouTubers have raised $30 million to remove 30 million pounds of trash from the ocean.
Whatever little changes you are making towards a more sustainable life, it will make an impact in the long run. 💛
