Wren’s Post

Join us in welcoming two new projects to the Wren family 🌱 🍂 Our underground biomass storage project with Graphyte removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by turning unwanted biomass such as sawmill residues and rice hulls into carbon blocks, then storing these blocks in a designated site to prevent decomposition and ensure there is no release of greenhouse gas emissions. 🌿 Our forest resilience against wildfires project with Blue Forest restores and protects forests, watersheds, ecosystems, and communities in the Western United States by catalyzing funds and partners needed to accelerate ecological restoration projects. This helps to mitigate the risk of catastrophic wildfires and create a more resilient future. Which other projects would you like to see added to our climate portfolios? #Biomass #CDR #CarbonRemoval #Nature #WildfirePrevention

Do you buy stuff on Amazon? Although the company is making efforts to become more sustainable, the bigger issue is what and how much we're buying. Many of us purchase more than we need, and each item has a carbon footprint associated with materials, production, transport, and disposal. This behavior is accelerating climate change, but together we can modify our habits to create positive outcomes. Visit the link in the comments to learn more about our Tech-enabled rainforest protection project and donate to the fundraiser. * * * * * #protecttheenvironment #natureconservation #loveourplanet #stopdeforestation #sustainability #amazonprimeday #consumerism #TakeAction #EarthDayEveryDay #InvestInOurplanet #climateemergency #WhatWillYouDo

Ready for some good climate news? :) 🦋 The European Union approves a first-of-its-kind Nature Restoration Law to help bring back biodiversity, aiming to restore at least 20% of the EU’s land and sea areas by 2030 and all degraded ecosystems by 2050. 💸 The International Energy Agency reports that global investment in clean energy will overtake fossil fuel spending in 2024. Clean energy investments are estimated to hit $2T in 2024, twice the amount going into fossil fuels. ✌️ Youth activists win an unprecedented climate settlement in Hawaii, with the state's Department of Transportation given a deadline to fully decarbonize and achieve zero emissions by 2045. ⚡️ Only 23% of Malawi’s population has access to electricity. Now, thanks to funding from the World Bank and other impact investors, solar powered electricity is becoming affordable for even low-income households in the area. 🇲🇽 Mexico elects former climate scientist Claudia Sheinbaum as its first female president. As the country faces a handful of issues only worsened by climate change, voters make their priorities clear. 🇻🇦 Pope Francis ordered the construction of a solar farm to cover the energy needs of the smallest country in the world: the Vatican City State. The solar farm is to be managed by the Vatican's central bank and built in Santa Maria Galeri. 🇨🇭 Switzerland approved a law to boost renewable energy, notably "an important milestone for strengthening security of supply" in the country, especially in winter. Official results showed that just under 69% of Swiss voters backed the law. 👷 New research shows that adding nitrogen to concrete could significantly reduce greenhouse gases. By 2050, it could reduce NOx by a total of 131-384 Mt—the equivalent of 75–260 years lost to premature death and reduced quality of life.
