I got to wander around the woods with these two yesterday, and it was amazing 🌲 go outside guys #happyearthdaybirthday • • • #royaannmillerphotography #engaged #engagement #portraits #atlanta #weddingphotographer #destinationweddings #adventuresession dirtybootsandmessyhair #greenweddingshoes #southeasternwedding #forest #adventure
#Plant #Scherer (a #coal fired #power plant one hour south of #Atlanta) is the #1 emitter of #Greenhouse #Gas #emissions in the U.S., at over 20 million tons per year. It was also ranked the 20th in the WORLD in terms of #carbon dioxide emissions by the Center for Global Development. The Carbon Majors Report pinpoints how a relatively small set of fossil fuel producers may hold the key to systemic change on carbon emissions. More than half of global industrial emissions since 1988 – the year the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change was established – can be traced to just 25 #corporate and state-owned entities. The scale of historical emissions associated with these fossil #fuel producers is large enough to have contributed significantly to climate change.  #ExxonMobil, #Shell, #BP and #Chevron are identified as among the highest emitting investor-owned companies since 1988. A fifth of global industrial greenhouse gas emissions are backed by #public #investment, investors should move out of fossil fuels. If fossil fuels continue to be extracted at the same rate over the next 28 years as they were between 1988 and 2017, global average temperatures would be on course to rise by 4C by the end of the century. This is likely to have #catastrophic consequences including substantial species #extinction and global #food #scarcity risks. # divest #cleanpower #renewables #earthdayeveryday #dirtycoal #peopleoverprofit
The #environmental #consequences of large #dams are numerous and varied, and includes direct impacts to the biological, chemical and physical properties of #rivers and #riparian (or "stream-side") environments. #Hydroelectric #power is #destroying these riparian #ecosystems from their headwaters in the mountains to their mouths at the ocean and beyond.  Downstream of a dam, the river is starved of its structural materials and cannot provide #habitat. Most dams don’t simply draw a line in the water; they eliminate habitat in their reservoirs and in the river below. Migratory fish like #salmon, which are born upstream and may or may not survive their downstream trip around, over or through a dam, stand an even poorer chance of completing the round trip to #spawn. Wild salmon numbers in the Pacific Northwest’s Columbia River basin are down some 85 percent since the big dams went in there a half century ago. Organic materials from within and outside the river that would normally wash downstream get built up behind dams and start to consume a large amount of oxygen as they #decompose. In some cases this triggers #algae blooms which, in turn, create #oxygen-starved #deadzones incapable of supporting river life of any kind. Also, water temperatures in dam reservoirs can differ greatly between the surface and depths, further complicating survival for marine life evolved to handle natural temperature cycling. And when dam operators release oxygen-deprived water with unnatural temperatures into the river below, they harm downstream environments. 💥 🌊 💥 #downsideofdams #highpriceofhydro #hydroelectric #power #damn #sustanaible #electricity #now #resist #scientificamerican #earthdayeveryday
#Plastics are now one of the most common #pollutants of #ocean waters worldwide. Pushed by winds, tides and currents, plastic particles form with other debris into large swirling glutinous accumulation zones, known to #oceanographers as #gyres, which comprise as much as 40 percent of the planet’s ocean surface — roughly 25 percent of the entire #earth. The challenge is to combat our economic model that thrives on #wasteful products and packaging, and leaves the associated problem of clean-up. Changing the way we produce and #consume plastics is a challenge greater than reining in our production of #carbondioxide. Plastics are a nightmare to #recycle. They are very hard to clean. They can melt at low temperatures, so impurities are not vaporized. Scientists in Britain and the Netherlands have proposed to cut plastic #pollution by the institution of a “circular economy.” The basic concept is that products must be designed with end-of-life recovery in mind. They propose a precycling premium to provide #incentives to #eliminate the possibility that a product will become #waste. • • • • #resist #climatechange #changethesystem #greeneconomy #precycle #thinkdifferent #earthdayeveryday #scienceisreal #circulareconomy
