GREAT NEWS IN A NUTSHELL! 

YAY!  BRAVO VERMONT for banning food waste in the trash!  Yay for composting!  I Love  Vermont!  One of the most ecologically progressive states in the US, Vermont has the most comprehensive ban on single use plastics, and just implemented the FOOD SCRAP BAN.  Everyone is now required to compost their food waste.

While a remarkable 72% of all Vermonters already compost, 20% of Vermont’s waste is food, which produces methane gas (25 X more dangerous in affecting climate change than CO2) The state invested nearly a billion dollars in composting facilities , education, and infrastructure to help all restaurants, food outlets and Vermonters compost!!

BRAVO DOLE!
Never thought I’d hear myself say that! I am so grateful to DOLE, who has committed to eliminate their MASSIVE amount of food waste by 2025. Some of the cool things they are developing: turning pineapple skins and banana leaves into packaging materials, making snacks from “unwanted” misshapen produce, eliminating plastic packaging, reaching net-zero carbon emissions, and processing excess food waste into bio-gas to power its processing plants. ALL THIS WITHIN FIVE YEARS!!!!

YAY!!!! PLEASE SPREAD THIS GREAT NEWS!!!

Bravo to the people of Mexico City!  Local patrons master-minded and are privately funding 1000 columns (15 ACRES!) on the busy thoroughfare now named The Greenway, which will amount to of Vertical Gardens/Living Walls.in the busiest part of the city.  The project features training in this important urban art form and worthy work for prisoners.

While there’s a note on the project’s cost vs planting new trees, I am a huge fan of Living Walls and I am very excited to see Mexico City’s brilliant efforts.  I love this!  The walls uptake carbon, emit oxygen, help calm, quiet, beautify, and uplift the street!

At this crossroads in time, we need to plant billions of trees and create Living Walls and Roofs everywhere we can. Read more…

As we know, the great gift of Covid-19 has been a huge drop in toxic air pollution worldwide, most notably over China and India.  The clearing of the rivers and streams, the return of beautiful views and vistas is a healthy ecosystem boon for all species on Earth. 

Satellites can easily measure NOx (nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide combined) which is produced by fossil fuel burning.

Here’s an interactive Satellite map marking  the difference between a moment in time on January 20, 2020 and March 20, 2020.

GREAT NEWS IN A NUTSHELL! Health Care Workers are the heroes of the planet right now, and their voices will hopefully carry some weight as they urge leaders at the G20 to take heed of the blaring messages from the current situation with COVID-19.

“Leaders must learn from these mistakes and recover in a way that makes the world stronger, healthier and more resilient”, the health professionals say. Governments have the power to make this transformation in the next 12-18 months, depending on where and how they direct the trillions of dollars they are about to inject into the economy.
