Renewable power is an economical, practical solution for a growing number of locations and energy needs, and islands that have traditionally relied on fossil fuels can easily transition to microgrids powered by solar and storage today. #Renewable #Solar #Energy #Battery #Storage #Tesla #SolarCity #Island #FossilFuels

Healthy soil is our ticket to reverse global warming. With regenerative agriculture, we can draw down carbon and put it back in the ground. #RegenerativeAgriculture #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #Carbon #Farming

An effective transportation system is to the sustainable city what a well-functioning circulatory system is to a healthy human being. #Transportation #MassTransit #Cities #Sustainability

During a press event at Universal Studios in LA, Musk announced that Tesla will build and sell its own line of solar panels with integrated batteries. #ElonMusk #Tesla #Solar #Roofs #Energy #Technology #Sustainability

Cities make up less than 3 percent of Earth’s land area, but consume around 70 percent of global final energy and produce 75 percent of carbon emissions. #SDG #Sustainable #Development #Cities #Climate #Action

Reducing waste in the food system could deliver $405 billion annually, while restoring degraded land could deliver up to $85 billion annually. #Food #Agriculture #Waste #Sustainability #SDG

#Sundrop Farms is the first #agricultural system to use #solar power and seawater to grow crops. The first system opened in Australia last Thursday. #desalination #foodproduction #farming #sustainability Read the Article Here: http://www.ecowatch.com/sundrop-farms-solar-desalination-20

The potential for #offshore wind #power is enormous. The Department of Energy thinks offshore #wind could one day deliver twice as much #electricity as Americans used to keep the grid stable last year. https://grist.org//offshore-wind-is-finally-finally-comin/

Stronger fuel efficiency standards on vehicles through model year 2025 will prevent about 6 billion metric tons of carbon pollution from entering our atmosphere. Another way to look at that figure: it's about what the Amazon rainforest absorbs in three years. That's a lot of carbon, people! #FuelEconomyStandards #Vehicles #Efficiency #ClimateChange

You don't have to be an architect or designer to create a sustainable future. In fact, all it takes is someone who cares enough to make it a reality! #RenewableEnergy #TheClimateRealityProject #GreenBuilding #ClimateChange

California is the top state for solar power generation, followed by Arizona, North Carolina, New Jersey and Nevada. The nation's largest wind farm is set to be built in Iowa, putting the state on the path to become the first state to generate a majority of its power from a renewable resource. #Renewable #Energy #Solar #Wind #Geothermal #Biomass #Hydroelectric #UnitedStates #California

Toyota has installed stationary pure hydrogen fuel cells at a zero-emissions facility at its Honsha Plant in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. The new building is part of the automaker’s efforts to achieve its 2050 global environmental goal to eliminate carbon emissions in all operations. #Toyota #Green #Building #ZeroEmissions #Sustainability #EnvironmentalLeader
