In a bid to reduce carbon emissions, new homes in New York’s Catskills are being built to be all-electric and solar-powered, following passive house principles. This shift marks a significant step toward carbon-neutral housing, showing a commitment to sustainable living and reducing dependence on fossil fuels. Focusing on renewable energy, solar power is also being recognized for its potential to transform Native American communities, as seen in the efforts of Robert Blake of the Red Lake Nation to educate tribal members on the benefits of renewable energy. This emphasizes the broader impact of transitioning to clean energy, particularly in underserved communities. Another pressing issue is the increased risk of wildfires due to climate change, with recent reports highlighting how climate change has made wildfires in Canada and the Amazon more likely, contributing significantly to CO2 emissions. These fires have far-reaching environmental consequences and underscore the urgency of addressing climate change.
