The Day for Two-Do’s

2 / 22 / 22

An auspicious day –
(especially for those of us who love numbers)

Today’s to-do list:

√ set net zero goal
→ → put your money where your mouth is
→ stop emitting extra carbon
→ build ways to adapt
→ regenerate bio-diverse ecosystems
→ watch warming trends change

How do we use this point in time to pivot or improve quickly:

• 420 ppm CO₂ in earth’s atmosphere
• 8,000 m²/sec tree cover lost (2020)
• 1600 tons/sec greenhouse gas equivalents emitted
• 47% US electricity carbon-free (2/19, 14:00)
  ~450 GWH,
  ~18% wind, ~20% coal, ~25% fossil gas
• ~$950,000 invested in renewable energy in US in first half of 2020
• $ 69.9 billion Global renewable energy investment Q2 2020
• $1.5 trillion Global coal investment 2019-present
• …. (etc, etc) ……

So –
what will we do next?
what will you do tomorrow?
