Timber is coming back with a new look – and a new attitude (toward it) in today’s green revolution. That’s because. The post Green Jobs: Timber to Replace Glass in Buildings?

When you’re trying to make the best environmental choices, how do you know which “eco-friendly” products are actually good for you and the planet? Many claims are legitimate, but others feature deceptive or unsubstantiated claims. Even the legitimate labels vary a lot in meaning.

I have a contract to produce a book about growing a new economy ‘in the cracks in capitalism’, with mutual credit at the core. This article is a listing of key resources: video interviews I’ve done with relevant people whilst researching the book, plus articles providing additional information. I’ll add to this list as I conduct more interviews and find more sources of useful information.

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.

Deployment outstrips government estimates by hundreds of megawatts, as plummeting costs see wave of new projects emerge. The UK solar industry far exceeded expectations last year, despite the disruption caused by the coronavirus outbreak and the industry operating in its first full calendar year without access to any form of subsidy support. According to new figures released last week by trade body Solar Energy UK and Solar Media Ltd as part of a new partnership, the UK added 545MW of new solar

Former Bank of England Governor's plan to establish a $100bn-a-year global market for CO2 offsets contains three major flaws that urgently need addressing, argues Greenpeace UK's John Sauven. In less than two weeks, a new group set up by former Bank of England governor Mark Carney will be releasing its recommendations on how to establish a $100 billion-a-year global carbon market.

With 191 country signatories to the Paris Climate Agreement now hard at work in the race to zero carbon by 2050, much of the heavy lifting in ecosystem sustainability falls on the shoulders of the world's densely populated urban centers. This conversation considers how today's AI-enabled simulation media, such as AR/VR, can be effectively applied to accelerate learning, understanding, training, and solutions-modeling to sustainability planning and design.

The Climate 4.0 Economy. Climate change is here. We see it in many ways already. Weather catastrophes: Texas freezing over, the wildfires of California, the increasingly unpredictable violence and frequency of hurricanes, the rapid melting and disappearance of polar ice caps. Much more evidence all around us. What can we do in our corporate organizations, in our homes and communities, to change the current course?

We've seen this before. Tesla does something new. The competition decries that this will never happen. The Model 3 will never come. The Model Y is vaporware. Gigafactory 3 is a mud field.

Pity the poor, unloved auto dealerships. If they disappeared, who would mourn their passing? Car buyers certainly wouldn’t miss the pushy salespeople, byzantine pricing, or overpriced repairs. Automakers would surely cry some crocodile tears, but they would probably be glad to adopt Tesla’s direct sales model, which gives the California carmaker complete control over how its products are presented (as well as a larger slice of the profit).
