Like @greenneighborch suggest, the cleanest energy 🔋 is the energy we don't use.
On a large scale, this might mean reorganizing our society to be less energy-intensive.
On a smaller scale, we can start using less energy right away by making our homes 🏠 more energy efficient.

I was on this podcast talking about green energy and the Green Neighbor Challenge! and I only embarrassed myself a little bit!! Listen here: open.spotify.com/episode/0se… @GreenNeighborCh
DYK: 61% of U.S. electricity and 36% of E.U. electricity is made from #FossilFuel? Check out our first episode of season 2 with @lill_posting @GreenNeighborCh to learn more!

esp in climate politics, folks often worry that advocacy for direct democratic decisionmaking romanticizes people. But if you ask me, we don't need perfect decisionmakers - just to ask whether we like our chances better with our neighbors or with the people that started the fire

Did you know that electric utilities are often required to offer a green option but they don’t profit from these programs so they don’t advertise them? @GreenNeighborCh's new tool makes it easy to find these under-used programs and switch to green energy! bit.ly/3ytxRaN

The media often says “in a blow to environmentalists” as if we’re the only ones who live on Planet Earth.

I posted this to @climatecomic but I'm posting it here too. A collaboration with @ClimateAdam.
ALT A comic. The header says "Which of these is true about climate change?" On the left, purple-colored people say "It's too late to take action." On the right, yellow-colored people say "Everything will be fine." "Below: The answer? Neither is true." Then there are a series of comics in mixed purples and yellows. Panel 1 has fire approaching a home: "The climate has already changed in dangerous ways." Panel 2 has people reading near a windmill: "We're already taking action." Panel 3 has a hand holding a phone that says "Alert: Severe heat today." "But we need to speed it up." Panel 4 has a flooded neighborhood: "Every bit of climate change costs lives." Panel 5 has people biking near some people protesting: "But every bit of meaningful action saves lives." Below: "It's not too late. It's not fine. It's exactly the time to demand a better world."

Cannot wait for our conversation hosted by the @Just_Solutions_ crew on Wednesday @ 2pm et.
We'll talk about public and cooperative utilities, their power to serve energy justice, and the organizing we need to get them to achieve their mandate.

Hi all, not adding to "that" thread, but just know that you, today, can do A LOT to make the world a better, healthier, fairer, carbon-free place, and make the lives of the planet-destroyers miserable. You do have that power, especially if you team up with friends.

"It’s taken as a given that people in the Global South have a shitty quality of life and that’s perfectly okay. It’s a big part of how the climate crisis “snuck up” on a lot of folks in the Global North." @MaryHeglar hottakepod.com/otherposts/so…

Once again for those in the back. Eco-fascism is a thing. An increasingly deadly thing, quoted by the Christchurch shooter and now in Buffalo.
It's also enabled by mainstream environmental movements who are far, far too cosy with eco-fascist arguments and language.
The Buffalo shooter wrote in his manifesto that he's an "eco-fascist."
That means he blames immigrants for environmental problems like pollution and even climate change.
It's a common theme for many white supremacist mass shooters.

"Heat pumps in the U.S. are belaboring under a misconception that has plagued them for decades: That if the temperature falls to below 30 or even 40 degrees Fahrenheit, their technology simply doesn’t work."
I did some heat pump myth-busting for @grist

Honestly this podcast is mindblowing in its range & clarity. This story is exactly the one that needs telling. Basically 1 hour of clear-eyed liberation of the mind. Listen to it. Get your friends & families & students to listen to it. A landscape of ideas to transform our world.
“It’s either degrowth for the rich or climate disaster”.
