We’ve previously discussed the minimal footprint of space programs when comparing them to other carbon emission-intensive sectors, but still, space exploration has never been considered sustainable. So why is NASA still looking to the stars when Earth is at a tipping point?

The Great Barrier Reef is located in the Coral Sea, off the coast of Queensland, Australia and can be seen from outer space. It is the world’s biggest single structure made by living organisms, composed of over 2,900 individual reefs and 900 islands stretching for over 2,300 kilometers (1,400 mi) over an area of approximately 344,400 square kilometers (133,000 sq mi).
Read moreClimate Change Adaptation Strategies
Today, we’re going to look at Climate Change Adaptation Strategies. But remember, rather than only continuing to plan and strategize our adaptation to climate change, we need to come together to minimize the changes to our climate and global warming. Innovation and systemic changes are vital to this. Research whether your local or national administrators have such plans in place and hold them accountable if they are not rigid enough–or if they don’t even have a plan–by using your vote.

While the core of her legacy is centered on women’s rights and gender equality, Ruth Bader Ginsburg also supported environmental protections, and helped establish the Supreme Court precedent that empowered the EPA to regulate the greenhouse gas emissions driving climate change.
Read moreThe Truth About Carbon Offsetting
We’re often asked our opinions on carbon offsetting. It’s a tough subject to talk about because people generally have a preconceived idea that this is a solution to Climate Change. We’ll cut you off at the pass – it’s not.

Since we’ve all been in lockdown, many of us have been wondering how our efforts to continue living within a sustainable world would fair once things started to open up. What would our challenges be due to
Read moreMethane and Global Warming
When we discuss climate change, most of our focus is on carbon dioxide or CO2 emissions. But today, we’re talking about methane, a greenhouse gas 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide. So, why don’t we hear more about it?
Read moreMethane & Global Warming
When we discuss climate change, most of our focus is on carbon dioxide or CO2 emissions. But why don’t we talk about other heat trapping gases such as Methane (CH4), Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Nitrous Oxide (N2O)? The short answer is there is more CO2 in the atmosphere than any other greenhouse gas at around 80% of total emissions. But did you know, methane is over 80 times more potent than CO2?
