    What does your vision of a sustainable community look like? What would need to be changed in order for such vision to become reality?

    Methane digesters are anaerobic digesters that manage the decomposition of organic matter and absorb methane emissions into biogas (renewable fuel) and a nutritious fertilizer known as digestate. In a future of more incorporations of this renewable energy source, the world can prevent 6.02- 7.05 gigatons of greenhouse gases. Cities, colleges, and corporations can integrate this form of renewable energy to mitigate methane emissions and actually convert it to renewable energy, and even fertilizer for farms.

    Geothermal energy is reliable, abundant, and efficient. Project Drawdown states that public investment will play a crucial role in its expansion. In what ways (i.e. with money, time, advocacy) can you invest in geothermal energy?

    Geothermal energy is an essential and efficient form of renewable energy. Since 1980 geothermal power plants have declined in costs by 50%. This is important because communities have more incentive to change to geothermal energy as the cost gap between it and fossil fuels closes. Geothermal growth in usage from now until 2050 will reduce co2 emissions by up to 16.6 gigatons.
    We can install geothermal energy systems in our own homes in which you can install pipes that go into the earth if you live in a region that has hydrothermal convection systems. By installing these systems on your property you can get federal tax credit. Furthermore geothermal energy systems in homes can create 4 times more energy than you use. Its a cost effective source of energy that doesn't rely on power from your local grid.

    Here's my latest meatless meal. It ideally could have been a little more, but it was all I was working with! Meatless meals help support the production of food that uses less land, less water, and fewer emissions in the atmosphere. More creative meatless meals are out there than this one, but it was still good. Incorporating meatless meals into our diets can help with various issues, and it feels good to do so!

    This is my typcial meatless meal with jalapenos, and pineapple on one veggie burger then cheese on the other. I had a buffalo ranch salad on the side. It was all great and It felt good to choose food items that didn't require a lot of water and land to produce.

    This is my meatless meal of the day. It is two Veggie burgers with pineapple and jalapenos on a seeded bun with a salad on the side. It was delicious, and I felt good about helping to be sustainable.
