Drawdown Georgia
United States
Приєднався 3 бер 2021
Drawdown Georgia is a statewide, research-based initiative working to catalyze a Georgia beyond carbon. Our road map advances Georgia-specific climate solutions on five fronts: transportation, buildings & materials, food & agriculture, electricity, and land sinks. Our mission is to help Georgians build a new, sustainable future based on our diversity and ingenuity.
Drawdown Georgia takes its inspiration from Project Drawdown, the world’s leading resource for taking action on climate change. Researchers from across our state, supported by funding from the Ray C. Anderson Foundation, localized Project Drawdown’s work and identified 20 high-impact climate solutions that put Georgia on a path to advance drawdown-that point in the future when levels of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere stop climbing and start to steadily decline.
We’re building a diverse and inclusive “leader-full” movement bringing together businesses, universities, NGOs, and others to join the movement.

Good. Especially for the poorest of the poor as me.❤

beautiful video

Lots of resources were mentioned in this presentation- can you add links in the description?
Done!
Glad to hear the conversation is about energy efficiency versus solar power. Solar does nothing to cool off the house in the Summer.
We agree with Mike that the best approach is to ensure your home is properly sealed and insulated before tackling solar--which brings its own benefits for Georgia homeowners!
Thanks for sharing your conversation. Electrification is not easy and I've been working on a series of videos to tackle each fossil fuel appliance to show how easy it is to convert. I'd love to share this with your audience when you are ready.
That sounds like a great project! Thank you for all you do.
