April 30 at 7:46 AMWomen are paid less, and thus have less power and control over their lives in pretty much every country through all of history. Women also are biologically aware in greater detail of what it means to bring life into the world and all of the linked concerns with the vulnerability of young life, and that is whether or not you are a parent. I...

April 30 at 7:39 AMI really enjoyed the ecochallenge this year and feel inspired to continue being aware of my actions throughout the year. Thanks to everyone on the CMU team!

April 30 at 7:10 AMI think most useful in learning about this topic is the listed approach of auditing how your home or building is currently performing. I feel like prior to reading these articles and digging a little more, I understood retrofitting in concept but not where to begin, and seeing a list of what comes into review is of course pragmatic. While it's...

April 29 at 2:47 PMThese resources were really interesting to read about. While I knew about the high level concepts of geothermal production (and it's limitations to countries like Iceland), I hadn't thought of or read about home applications. Additionally, just knowing about the resources on the DSIRE site are really good to be aware of for the future since it...

Particularly with items that I purchase repeatedly (consumables), I have found a number of goods that meet my needs and keep their company supported. I also like...

April 28 at 1:43 PMIt seems like two of the most important things to be certain that climate action plans are equitable and socially just is to place those who are most at risk at the heart of those projects and be mindful of such projects, that their outcomes are as complex as an ecosystem. Making changes that improve neighborhoods makes them more desirable and...

April 28 at 8:44 AMI spent a few hours yesterday putting in a pollinator garden in a low-dig bed where only holes were dug to get the plants in. That was after spending the winter reading about different plants that are good in my location and grow zone, planning layout for plant sizes and heights, and picking what I think would be most successful in that bed's...
