Greetings Greenies,
As environmental
disasters mount, we have to think very hard about how to slow, reverse, and prevent climate change. At 🌱TrendElectric we think that awareness of the issues is the first step to beginning the work as individuals, and then as a society, to fix this thing before it’s too late!
Here is a global flooding map showing what nations are being affected by rising sea levels. The human cost is very very high....
Please like, comment, and share this post to anyone you know who is not aware of the dire conditions being created by rising sea levels around the world,
🌱TrendElectric thanks you!

Not more “bad news”???!!!
🌱TrendElectric loves reporting on all the great things happening in the world of environmental protection, “green” energy, and human ingenuity, but lately so much of the environmental news is negative.
Today we’re sharing an article about the detrimental affect upon air quality after of weeks of wildfires in California. This article is full of little-known facts about air quality and health.

“Air pollution is a known threat to human health. Around the world, it contributed to an estimated four million deaths in 2016. Complications with conditions like respiratory and cardiovascular disease are typically the culprits. However, long-term health impacts have largely looked at emissions from activities like vehicle traffic or burning fossil fuels.”

This is a lot more deaths annually then Covid 19 will ever take, no matter how widely it might spread!
So let’s add to our knowledge and learn how increasing wildfires, and the resulting toxicity exposure this creates, is affecting millions of people as we read and speak.
Wildfire fallout is a real threat to humans and many species of flora and fauna.
🌱TrendElectric believes this is an enormous problem that we all need to understand!

As wildfires in California and elsewhere become the new normal, scientists are racing to learn the airborne health risks of the chemicals in our homes.

Greeting Greenies!

Happy September everyone!

This story on photovoltaics (Solar panels) shows a creative blend of traditional agriculture and renewable energy technology that also conserves water. Some
Ag. areas have serious water issues such as in the Central Valley of California, and it these regions where water is a problem, this technique could be a lifesaver for struggling farmers.
These are the kinds of creative solutions that will make a difference to the environment going forward.

Conflagration in California!
Over a million acres of land, Forrest’s, destroyed.....

At 🌱TrendElectric we prefer to report the good news about “greening” the planet. But sadly, it’s not all “good news.”

The planet is burning up, remember last year in Eastern Australia and Western USA?
This is the “new normal.”
Wildfires, superstorms....

This is climate change.
The warnings have been out for decades, and the reality is now upon us.

Please read about what’s happening in California and, if you have not already done so, consider taking a stand against climate change, because it takes everyone to make a planet-wide shift like what is needed to save our environment from the ravages of global warming🙏🏼

In the last decade, amid drought and searing heat, California has entered the ‘era of megafires’ and has become the ‘examplar for climate change extreme events today’

Why are minorities and people of color not buying many electric vehicles in California? Or anywhere else?
🌱TrendElectric greets you!
And as always, we want to talk about trends that lead us all into a cleaner, brighter, “greener” energy efficient future.
With the extensive diversity in America, and being a nation of personal transportation, it would be a mistake relying on middle class white people to set the trend.
In order to slow down and reverse climate change we need everyone to invest in EV’s.
Clearly there are challenges.
Income disparity across communities, lack of education in the marketplace for high tech consumer products, and access to venders that sell electric vehicles,
all affect the ability of a Black, Latino, or Asian American to choose electric.
With so many new and lower
priced EV’s coming out, and with the growing pre-owned fleet as current EV owners upgrade to newer models, electric cars can be available to everyone.
We want to see new ad campaigns in urban communities aimed at minority consumers that encourage “green” lifestyles, like home insulating, “green” systems for improved small business efficiency, and about adopting electric cars. With outreach and education, municipalities and towns can impart “green” messages and bring these important buyers into the EV revolution.
Check out this article about minorities and Electeic vehicles and please share your thoughts?

AND, please like and share this post, let’s keep the “green “ conversation going🌱

In California, Latinos and African-Americans simply are not buying electric cars. It’s time for some new marketing.

Tesla Motorcars is an an American, innovative, and influential electric vehicle company about which
🌱TrendElectric likes to follow and report.
Tesla is probably responsible for the huge increase in electric vehicles currently being designed and produced in the world today. As mavericks in the car industry, in the last ten years Tesla has created a market with luxury vehicles starting at the top, then producing more and more affordable models as the company ramped up its production capabilities. The goal was always to increase the world EV fleet, and that is what’s happening!
As more and more automobile makers around the world develop electric models, the world’s fossil fuel dependency will eventually decrease, and that is good for us and the environment!
In this piece Elon Musk of Tesla talks about the Cyber Truck and why this is the vehicle for the apocalypse. Elon can be rather dramatic, but he is always entertaining, and his point of view is always interesting!

Is life in the pandemic driving you crazy?
Silly question right?
It’s being rough on everyone, and most of us are doing our part to flatten the curve (please wear that mask!!!!).
It’s a rare thing when we can say “we’re all in this together,” and literally include EVERYONE in populated regions of the world.
An unexpected benefit of reduced economies, locomotion, and industrial activity is the positive, tho certainly temporary improvements to the atmosphere. This graphic is stunning and really brings it home—does watching this give you pause? It does us!
🌱TrendElectric wants to ask you,
does watching this graphic cause you to consider, are we giving the Earth—the human, flora and fauna habitats, the water, the oceans, the air—the priority these natural wonders, that we and all life depend upon to survive—the care it deserves?
Let us know your thoughts, let’s talk about our planet and how we can learn from this unexpected “pause” in our race toward ever contracting Earth health.

German Aerospace Center Remote Sensing Technology Institute researchers find a healthier atmosphere

Ha friends 🌱TrendElctric has been BUSY navigating work through this pandemic, but we still want to give you the good news when we hear it!

This from the Washington post! Let’s hope this works! When energy is cleaner, everyone benefits!

“A group of Senate Republicans sent a letter to Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) pushing to boost clean energy in the next coronavirus relief bill.
The letter from Gardner and fellow Republican Sens. Thom Tillis (N.C.), Lindsey Graham (S.C.), Susan Collins (Maine), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Martha McSally (Ariz.) and Richard Burr (N.C.) cites the about 500,000 job lost in the sector during the pandemic.

“As we focus on getting the country back to work, we must include an industry that had already been putting Americans to work faster, and in more places, than the overall economy before the COVID pandemic hit,” the senators wrote. “…Unfortunately, COVID-driven layoffs and furloughs are already underway in the clean energy sector."

Like Gardner, Collins, Graham, McSally and Tillis are up for reelection this year.

In a statement, Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions praised the letter. “America deserves a jobs-forward COVID-19 relief package that helps our citizens get safely back to work and helps our economy get back on track,” the group’s executive director, Heather Reams, said. “

Thanks for checking in, let’s all hang in there as this will all pass!

When we talk about “going green,” we also have to talk about environmental equity and health.
Environmental Racism is related to Covid 19 death rates, “cancer corridors,” and other regions where the populace, typically low income, are more affected by exposure to toxic chemical and particulate pollution.
Let’s understand this problem, and think about how those living in healthier environments protected from industrial pollution can become allies and help make needed changes.

Researchers find that areas with high levels of airborne dust or toxic chemicals also have more deaths from the coronavirus.

You’ve been hearing a lot about Systemic Racism, but do you know about Environmental Racism?

Of not, this article will blow you away!
🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱

At 🌱TrendElectric we are concerned about the ongoing crises of Climate Change and the devestating effects upon our world.
Catastrophic weather events, species loss, atmosphere damage, water/ ocean/polar conditions and rising sea levels, and the deleterious health effects upon human beings are all largely due to the over-use of fossil fuels.

As societies across the planet are rethinking race relations and how to improve our world by ending racism, Environmental Racism is a very important aspect that all concerned people need to to understand, so please read and share, because at TrendElectric we believe that we are all in this together🌱

A new report from an office within the Environmental Protection Agency finds that people of color are much more likely to live near polluters and breathe polluted air.
