Pushing the change in technologies and policies needed to get to a zero-emissions, high-energy planet at an affordable cost.
To avoid the worst impacts of climate change, we must reduce global greenhouse gas emissions to net-zero by mid-century, all while increasing energy access to billions of people living in energy poverty. It’s a massive challenge and the timeline is daunting, but there is HOPE!
Solar Sister Entrepreneur
As twilight fell in the central Tanzanian village, family and friends gathered to pay their respects to Patricia Ngwada’s late mother. As it grew dark, Patricia turned on the solar lamp she had purchased for her mother a few years earlier. After the funeral, everyone wanted to know about the solar lamp and where they could get one.
Patricia purchased the lamp from one of her relatives, a Solar Sister Entrepreneur. After the questions about the lamp, she contacted the relative and joined Solar Sister.
A Community Comes Together on “Restoring Native Brook Trout in Onondaga Creek
Upon closeout in 2022, Onondaga Environmental Institute’s (OEI) Sustain Our Great Lakes (SOGL) grant, Phase 2 of “Restoring Native Brook Trout in Onondaga Creek”, proved to be a great success despite numerous obstacles stemming from the pandemic and other unexpected hurdles. At the completion of this project, the following accomplishments were achieved in the West Branch of Onondaga Creek: (1) removal of a 300 cubic-yard gravel bar at Red Mill Rd, (2) removal of 18 Large Woody Debris (LWD) jams, and (3) replacement of two undersized culverts with a timber bridge.
