REFLECTION QUESTIONCoastal, Ocean, and Engineered Sinks Learn about BiocharCan biochar provide additional benefits besides sequestering carbon?
Mateo Mora 1/23/2022 4:44 PMBesides sequestering carbon, biochar can also be used to highly enrich soil which is useful towards the widespread planting of vegetation and trees. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONIndustry Find a Local Climate-Friendly SupermarketHow close is the nearest climate-friendly supermarket to your home? How could you encourage local supermarket to reduce or phase out their use of HFC refrigerants?
Mateo Mora 1/15/2022 4:11 PMI found that the nearest climate-friendly supermarket to where I live is actually less than a mile away and is a Fred Meyer that I often shop at. Reducing the use of HFC refrigerants can start by taking inventory of the refrigerants one already has and by making plans to manage the amount of refrigerants used towards that of a lesser usage.-

Celine Fitzmaurice 1/18/2022 1:29 PMThanks for this post. Do you know if all Fred Meyer stores meet this climate-friendly supermarket designation? -
