Alter Eco

Fun challenge. Thinking about the challenge daily drives home the number of things we can do to effect climate change.

Let's finish strong by completing daily challenges and the incorporating many of our new habits into our daily life.

This is the first time I heard about silvopasture. Intergrating trees is pastureland will have multiple benefits if correctly managed, including crop diversification, better animal welfare from shade and windbreaks, improved forage quality(if managed properly) and carbon sequestration in soil. As with all solutions it will require careful...

Working with team member today to tackle a new challenge-silvopasture.

To learn more about what I can do to help

Why join the challenge? Climate change is the most important challenge of our time. Learning to interact with our environment in a sustainable manner that mutually supports all our ecosystems is a best practice in terms of survival for all.  Choosing actions is a way to engage.

Given our carbon dependent economy, we need to serially invest time, money and commitment into sustainable carbon free strategies that allow for existing ecosystems to survive and thrive.

Tidal and wave technology is at an extremely early stage of development and will require a lot of investment to become a significant portion of renewable energy. It is reliable, however, and would not add a carbon burden. The impact on marine life has not yet been adequately studied. 

There are a number of items each of us can do to affect co2 emissions, these items are doable daily and when done by huge numbers of us causes a meaningful impact with regard to co2 emissions, thus, we collectively can affect markets and can affect our environment to the benefit of ourselves and our heirs.

Oh boy, I won't lie- this is tough to keep up with! Kudos to everyone who has updated their challenge pages!!
