Exciting news! I just signed a publishing contract for my upcoming #solarpunk #book - How to Surf a Hurricane!
It's an eco-thriller, a heist set in the near future, where humans are learning how to adapt to #ClimateChange

A powerful reminder that the most effective way we as individuals can help with the rapidly mounting fresh water crisis is to eat less red meat. A single hamburger patty requires 660 gallons of water! https://youtu.be/XusyNT_k-1c?si=V6_mhqZFZQVtidaQ

Is it just me, or does current Lifecycle Analysis miss something important: how long the good actually lasts.
It's all great if Good A consumes 10% fewer resources to produce, use and recycle... But if it lasts half as long, that's a net loss for the planet.
I would love to see analysis more in line with fuel efficiency for cars: The emissions PER YEAR of this product (Aka lifecycle emissions divided by expected lifespan) - so that I as a consumer can make more informed choices, and companies can't game the system by producing shitty short-term products.
Or, another way of thinking about it: what would the emissions be if I used this product for 100 years?

Did you know that you can purchase an electric vehicle for as little as $1,000?
Not only that, these vehicles also:
- Can skip traffic jams
- Be parked virtually anywhere
- Get over 1,000 mpge
- Emits no harmful air pollution
- Don't require a government permit or expensive insurance
- Can easily be repaired by yourself, and don't require long waits at expensive dealerships
- Include optional exercise equipment, allowing you to choose to get exercise while in transit (if you want) and skip the gym membership
- Can be operated by people of almost any age, so your kids can now transport themselvesWhat is this vehicle I'm describing? Some sort of newfangled flying car? A quantum teleporter?
No: It is the humble electric bicycle.
Spread the word.

Apparently a lot of countries have been fudging their carbon numbers. Even with the fudged numbers, we weren't on track for the Paris Agreement... but when measured from satellites, emissions are actually still increasing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NPDq2ubKooLooking like governments aren't going to solve this in time, especially if they won't even use the real numbers. Maybe it's finally time for all of us to watch that new movie, "How to Blow up a Pipeline"? I hear it's actually pretty good.

#introduction time! I'm a #climate #UrbanPlanning #CleanEnergy and #tech nerd who loves thinking about system-level solutions and riding my #ElectricBike everywhere
Outside of my job, I'm an #OpenSource #DIY enthusiast, #gamer and #solarpunk #writer - check out my first book, a solarpunk heist, at https://howtosurfahurricane.com/

This month's newsletter is a li'l late, but it is here. This issue features fiction about drought, an indie corner with Todd Medema, and a world spotlight on Dheepa R. Maturi. #ecofiction #drought #wildfires
