A Viable Human Future Depends on Living With Less

clnAdrian — Mon, 25 Apr 2022 10:00:29 +0000

As we learn to think and act as an interdependent global species, we must look critically at all the forms of consumption that could be eliminated to the ultimate benefit of all. #ecoliving

We Need to Radically Re-Imagine Our Food System. Here’s How.

A global food system that is both truly sustainable and sufficiently productive will consist, not of a few massively scaled practices, but rather a vast patchwork quilt of smaller-scale solutions that vary dramatically from place to place, over space and over time, in an interplay with local climate, ecology, and culture. #ecofarming

Offshore Wind Farms Could Help Capture Carbon from Air and Store It Long-Term – Using Energy that Would Otherwise Go To Waste

If direct air capture systems were built alongside offshore wind turbines, they would have an immediate source of clean energy from excess wind power and could pipe captured carbon dioxide directly to storage beneath the seafloor below, reducing the need for extensive pipeline systems. #offshorewindfarm #cleanenergy

Beavers Offer Lessons About Managing Water in a Changing Climate, Whether the Challenge Is Drought or Floods

clnAdrian — Tue, 25 Jan 2022 11:00:27 +0000

Scientists are finding that beavers’ small-scale natural interventions are valuable. In dry areas, beaver ponds restore moisture to the soil; in wet zones, their dams and ponds can help to slow floodwaters. These ecological services are so useful that land managers are translocating beavers in the U.S. and the United Kingdom to help restore ecosystems and make them more resilient to climate change. #beavers #beaverdam #waterresources

Batteries Get Hyped, but Pumped Hydro Provides the Vast Majority of Long-Term Energy Storage Essential for Renewable Power – Here’s How It Works

clnAdrian — Thu, 20 Jan 2022 11:00:41 +0000

The U.S. is going to need a lot more solar and wind power generation, and lots of cheap energy storage. It’s called pumped hydro energy storage. It involves pumping water uphill from one reservoir to another at a higher elevation for storage, then, when power is needed, releasing the water to flow downhill through turbines, generating electricity on its way to the lower reservoir. #RenewableEnergy #pumpedhydrostorage

E.O. Wilson’s Lifelong Passion for Ants Helped Him Teach Humans About How to Live Sustainably With Nature

clnAdrian — Thu, 30 Dec 2021 00:00:11 +0000

E.O. Wilson discovered the chemical means by which ants communicate. He worked out the importance of habitat size and position within the landscape in sustaining animal populations. And he was the first to understand the evolutionary basis of both animal and human societies. #EOWilson #biodiversity
