    What did you learn when contacting the fossil fuel companies that supply energy to your community?

    Chloe Raboin's avatar
    Chloe Raboin 6/04/2025 7:46 PM
    I learned about their energy mix, emission reduction strategies, and if their program offers a chance for their consumers to reduce their carbon foot print
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Coastal, Ocean, and Engineered Sinks
    Can biochar provide additional benefits besides sequestering carbon?

    Chloe Raboin's avatar
    Chloe Raboin 6/04/2025 7:44 PM
    Yes, biochar enhances soil fertility, improves water retention, reduces nutrient leaching, and helps mitigate heavy metal contamination, making it a valuable tool for sustainable agriculture and environmental remediation.

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Electricity
    Your utility company is able to tell you your average energy usage. Ask them how your energy usage compares to others in your ZIP code, region, and/or state. What other steps can you take each day to reduce your electricity usage?

    Chloe Raboin's avatar
    Chloe Raboin 6/04/2025 7:40 PM
    you can switch to led light bulbs, and you can also use smart power strips to reduce energy waste

    What are some of the benefits of making your home more energy efficient?

    Chloe Raboin's avatar
    Chloe Raboin 6/04/2025 7:37 PM
    Making your home more energy efficient reduces utility bills, lowers carbon emissions, and increases overall comfort. It also improves indoor air quality, enhances property value, and contributes to a more resilient energy grid
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Buildings
    How can your region/household prepare for changing water situations in order to become more resilient?

    Chloe Raboin's avatar
    Chloe Raboin 6/04/2025 7:36 PM
    To build water resilience, regions can invest in sustainable watershed management, upgrade infrastructure, and diversify water sources like rainwater harvesting or groundwater recharge. Households can conserve water with efficient fixtures, store emergency supplies, and implement drought-tolerant landscaping.
