Webinar – The Climate Change #Mitigation & #Adaptation Potential of Solar. Tuesday, June 20, Noon CDT. bit.ly/3p8kxrV #Solar if deployed deliberately can reduce greenhouse gas emissions to lessen #climatechange and aid our resilience to the changes already underway.

#solarenergy , if sited more deliberately, could yield multiple benefits. Clean electricity, #cleanenergy jobs, #pollinators & wildlife habitat, #carbonsequestration, improved water quality, more #climateresilience & added income for rural landowners. bit.ly/3NROJ2W

Voting for someone as president who won't acknowledge the reality of human-caused climate change is like choosing for a spring-time voyage across the North Atlantic a captain who denies the existence of icebergs. #climatechange #2024Election #climate #2024Elections #GlobalWarming
