The ability to shape your community for energy in ownership, control and its development and enable a different local prosperity from this

Around the world, we share the same water and air, so climate change and plastic pollution impact us all. We can each do our part to restore and protect our planet with simple steps. Get tips at: iRecycleSmart.com #GenerationRestoration #WorldEnvironmentDay

Hope and enchantment is a wonderful way to start 2024. If you don't have one already, I'd highly recommend a copy of the latest Resurgence & Ecologist Magazine. 'Hope and Enchantment' is the theme of the latest edition. Copies can be ordered from www.resurgence.org but, while you wait for it to arrive, here's a taster: "The most important, hopeful and positive endeavour that any of us can embark upon is to ease our transition to a society that lives as a part of Nature, not apart from Nature." https://lnkd.in/eUpwu2WP

Another case study of how, where, and why solar is the front of the battle against poverty. Notwithstanding the source of philanthropic goodwill, solar flexibility brings better conditions to essential goods and services in remote critical areas. Where no other energy source can reach - if solar is the solution here, it can make it more and better... anywhere.

I know this paper has been widely linked to, but it is so well written and from the knowledge of a real expert, if you haven't read it, I can highly recommend it. https://lnkd.in/eD9adGsb #climatechange #amoc #atlantic #oceancirculation #tippingpoint

"Rare earth elements are essential to the green transition. Without them, we can’t make electric car batteries or wind turbines, meaning demand in the EU is set to increase five-fold by 2030.” Our SVP Business Area Special Products, Leif Bostrom speaks to Elena Casas-Montanez at Thomson Reuters about #LKAB’s deposit of rare earth elements in #Kiruna, Sweden. Bostrom also highlights our dependency on non-EU countries today and how the industry must be scaled up. Follow link below 👇 for the full interview. #CriticalMinerals #EU

Don’t miss the Day 3 update on our collaboration with Real Ice deploying a hydrogen pump to pump sea water onto Arctic sea ice to thicken it! Not everything went to plan 😬. Read below for the next update instalment ⬇️ #seaice #arcticseaice #meltingseaice #seaicerestoration #climatesolutions #climatechange

REAL ICE CAMBRIDGE BAY DIARY DAY 3 - 17 JANUARY 2024 ❄️ Today, we left with the guides early in the morning to make use of the milder weather currently surrounding the Arctic. We successfully initiated our hydrogen-fuelled pump for the first time, we were able to run the pump continuously for 4 hours. But it didn't all go to plan! We noticed an issue with our backup power station (battery-operated), our Chief Engineer, Andrew Woods (Andy), is investigating the inverter problem which means if we have any issues with our Hydrogen power station, we don't have a back up. 🎿 The team spent a total of 4 hours on the sea ice, running the power station which powered the pump and began taking measurements to monitor our progress. ❄️ To avoid the risk of overnight faults, we decided to bring the fuel cell box back to the research station. We opted for shorter runs to increase the probability of everything remaining operational for the remainder of our trip. Our pump was left in the ice-hole with ample insulation to test its ability to endure the night and remain operational the next morning. 🤝 Meanwhile, Cian received a warm welcome from Pam Langden at the Kitikmeot Heritage Society, who graciously provided a brief tour of their building and exhibits within. Pam invited Cían to return the next day to meet the team at the heritage society. 🤝 Later that day, Cían met with Talia Maksagak (Executive Director of the Kitikmeot Chambers of Commerce) again to talk about current & future community engagement in Cambridge Bay and communities within the wider Kitikmeot region. 🤝 Additionally, Cían connected with Brodie Larocque from the CHARS communications team to explore effective ways of communicating our research to the Polar Knowledge Network (Polar Knowledge Canada (POLAR) / Savoir polaire Canada (POLAIRE) and the local community. Brodie introduced Cían to Lynda from the Knowledge Engagement Management team. This will be to coordinate a public event at CHARS as part of their speaker series. ❄️ Real Ice is presently conducting research in Cambridge Bay, employing a Hydrogen-powered pump as a pivotal element of our approach. This collaborative initiative includes partnerships with the Centre for Climate Repair at Cambridge and Arctic Reflections.
