Clean Energy Jobs Are Our Future


Last year, 47 percent of all the new electricity-generating capacity installed  in the United States was powered by the wind and sun. 

Coal provided just  0.7 percent — seven tenths of 1 percent. Over the past three years — 2012,  2013, and 2014 — we’ve gotten 42 percent of all our new electricity-generating capacity from wind turbines and solar panels. MORE >>

Why Are We so Sick?

This may help explain why we are so sick. BUY NOW! The Shopping Conspiracy is a documentary on Netflix and YouTube and we encourage everyone to watch it -- just in time for the pollution season. The garbage we've been filtering through our bodies and ultimately dumping into our oceans and landfills is finally catching up with us. The question  Why Are We So Sick?  is not just a rhetorical one but a pressing health inquiry that demands our attention. Recent studies have raised alarming concerns about the prevalence of microplastics in our drinking water and human tissues, including our hearts, brains, and even reproductive organs. The implications are still unclear, leaving doctors and scientists grappling with the potential health threats lurking beneath the surface of our convenience-driven lifestyles.

The Cost of Our Comfort and Convenience

Our insatiable desire for ease and luxury is driving a global crisis in food, water, and climate. We can't simply throw money at the problem and hope it goes away. It's time for us to take responsibility for our actions and make real changes in our daily lives. We must reduce our carbon footprint, use resources more responsibly, and prioritize sustainability. The cost of our comfort and convenience is too high to ignore any longer. In the United States, depending on where you live, everything is dropped in your lap. Food can be quickly acquired by shouting your order into a microphone and driving around a building, all without you having to leave your car.

By 2030, your CO2 emissions will be greatly reduced. Meat on your dinner table will be a rare sight. Water and the air you breathe will be cleaner and nature will be in recovery. The money in your wallet will be spent on being with family and friends, not on buying goods. Saving the climate involves huge change, but it could make us much happier at the same time. Right now, we are losing the fight against climate change – but what would winning look like? What is life like in a green world? Here's one version of a “CO-topia” You walk out of your front door in the morning into a green and liveable city, where concrete has dwindled and green facades and parks are spreading. If you choose to call a car, an algorithm will calculate the smartest route for the vehicle and pick up a few other people on the way. Have...
