REFLECTION QUESTIONCoastal, Ocean, and Engineered Sinks Learn about BiocharCan biochar provide additional benefits besides sequestering carbon?
Lisa Ehleiter 4/09/2021 11:18 PMBiochar can provide additional benefits besides sequestering carbon, such as improving the productivity of farmland. The main roadblock is that these benefits aren't immediate; they could require significant investment of time and money. I think biochar will be a great tool to keep in the Drawdown toolbox. It seems like a good fit for many industries and situations. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONAction Track: Climate Resilience Learn about 'Green Gentrification'Cities and towns need to plan for climate change. How can your city or town make its climate action plans equitable and socially just?
Lisa Ehleiter 4/09/2021 12:33 AMThese resources provide a lot of information on how cities can make climate action plans more equitable and socially just. I think the biggest challenge is recognizing equity as a major goal of climate action. Hopefully as a "Compassionate City." Rochester MN has a firm foundation. Too often, planning for climate change is seen as an excuse to plan for neighborhood upscaling, i.e. gentrification. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONLand Sinks Forest-Friendly Foods 1How is your diet currently impacting deforestation? What can you do to decrease your negative impact and increase your positive impact?
Lisa Ehleiter 4/07/2021 11:24 PMLike most of us, my diet contains more meat than necessary. This can lead to increased deforestation. I've done a good job in recent years of adjusting coffee, cocoa, and palm oil consumption and I pay attention to where my meat comes from, which I will continue. My current goal is to build habits around plant-based proteins to reduce how much meat I purchase. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONElectricity Watch a Video about Methane DigestersWhat does your vision of a sustainable community look like? What would need to be changed in order for such vision to become reality?
Lisa Ehleiter 4/03/2021 3:41 AMMy Vision of a Sustainable Community: A sustainable community doesn't have waste. It fully employs technologies like methane digestors, recycling everything. Humans continue living their comfortable lives while also creating a sustaining environment for other species. -
