TONIGHT: Dirt Rich - The Movie

http://sustainability.sienaheights.edu/environmental-documentaries.html

Today, 20-Mar, showing Dirt Rich, 88 minutes

Topics: Food, Climate Change, Solutions

Dirt Rich shifts focus from greenhouse gas emissions to carbon draw down which is the only viable solution for reversing the effects of runaway global warming in a timely manner. Through exploration of geo-therapy strategies, Dirt Rich shines light on their value and beauty which undeniably are our last hope for protecting life as we know it on this challenged planet. Through regenerative agricultural practices, reforestation of abandoned land, protection/restoration of carbon rich wetlands and keystone species, Dirt Rich illustrates how implementing these strategies will return our atmosphere to safe levels of carbon while growing soil, our most precious resource.

Game Changer Fund – CNCA

Cities have limited access to early-stage risk capital for implementing some of the riskier strategies for decarbonizing key systems at a scale considered “transformational.” In response, the Carbon Neutral Cities Alliance (CNCA) created a new “Game Changer Fund” in 2018 to foster even greater capacity within CNCA and other cities to implement critical, groundbreaking work that advances the global field of deep urban decarbonization. The Game Changers Report, released below, highlights seven transformations occurring across our CNCA cities.

UN: Environment is deadly, worsening mess, but not hopeless

Earth is sick with multiple and worsening environmental ills killing millions of people yearly, a new U.N. report says.

Climate change, a global major extinction of animals and plants, a human population soaring toward 10 billion, degraded land, polluted air, and plastics, pesticides and hormone-changing chemicals in the water are making the planet an increasing unhealthy place for people, says the scientific report issued once every few years.

Mapped: How climate change affects extreme weather around the world

This is just the beginning and it will increase and last for at least 100 years if we do not turn the wheels NOW...

A valuable map developed by Carbon Brief detailing extreme weather events around the world and to what extent it can be attributed to climate change.
