Earth Day is Monday, April 22! Since 1970, the annual event has brought us together to officially celebrate our home planet and take action to improve and protect the Earth.
If you’d like to explore options to come together with others in your community to celebrate or work in service, check out this handy map of events from earthday.org.
While Earth Day is a great opportunity to inspire collective action, we believe that protecting Earth’s natural resources for future generations requires all hands on deck, every day of the year.
Our ability to eliminate carbon pollution, confront extreme weather, and leave a safer and healthier world for our children and grandchildren depends on just how many of us show up. This Earth Day, the best way to celebrate is by rolling up your sleeves, taking action in your community, and playing your part in the Clean Energy Generation!
Through the Clean Energy Generation movement, we are coming together to create healthier communities and a more secure and sustainable environment. No matter your age, income, zip code, or abilities, you can play a role. You don’t have to have the answers, learning more is a great way to start. Join us, and we’ll share ideas, resources, tools, and practices to show how we can all be part of the transformation, every day of the year.

Earth Day and Every Day: Taking Action with the Clean Energy Generation
As we’ve noted in the past, the idea of capturing CO2 from the atmosphere is completely unfeasible, since 99.96% of the air around is something other than CO2 (mostly nitrogen). However, there are environments that change this equation radically, cement plants being one of them, where the concentration of CO2 emissions is as high as 30% (versus .04%).
Now, this brings the subject of synthetic fuels into the realm of possibility. Sure, if you want to make gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel, you’ll need two other things: hydrogen (which can come from electrolyzing water), and a considerable amount of energy, as these processes are heavily endothermic, meaning that energy must be supplied from external sources.
The good news is that we have enormous amounts of off-peak wind and nuclear that are wasted every day. Please see: Doty WindFuels.
With each passing day, there are fewer and fewer American voters who believe the bullshit at left.
Is Trump working hard to stay out of prison? Enrich himself and his family? Of course.
Could be possibly care less about anything else? Obviously not.
What’s the thought process of people in the rest of the developed world when it comes to visiting the U.S.?
Conversely, would you or I want to visit some country with a deeply corrupt regime that is systematically committing atrocities all around the globe, and whose leader is lining his pockets?
I’m glad I don’t own a resort in New England that counts on a flow of visitors from Canada. If I were a Canadian, I’d be thinking I’d rather visit hell.
