Optimize stormwater and flood management. We must simultaneously transition away from fossil fuels while we remove the nearly 50% increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide seen since the dawn of the industrial era. Scale alternative proteins and crops. Zero Carbon.

These changes will only worsen for as long as society continues to burn fossil fuels, and for some time after. With dam failures and overflows from combined sewer and stormwater systems common, there’s more work to do. A Connecticut law empowers cities to create their own stormwater management plans. Some go even further.

In cities, trees provide much-needed shade on hot summer days, remove pollution from the air, and help manage stormwater, reducing runoff and improving its quality. Others pointed out that calling forestation the “most effective climate change solution to date” overlooked a more obvious, trusty solution: reducing fossil fuel emissions.

I realized that we’ve got to move away from fossil fuels and solve for environmental issues before they happen because it takes decades and billions of dollars to clean them up — and I wanted to do more than just address the mess. Stormwater/flood management and earth observation science. Brine management and resource recovery.
