Next in our employee highlight series, we’re very proud to present our co-founder and intrepid leader, Dana Charron!

Despite the unique role bioethanol plays in #cleancooking transitions, few emissions studies have been conducted. We are excited to work with #Project_Gaia, @gettysburgcollege.bsky.social , Univ of Colorado ( @colorado.edu ) and #usgrainscouncil to expand and publish the latest data.

New Research: Toxins From Great Salt Lake Dust Absorbed by Plants, Soils, Human Bodies Newly published research from USU documents the ways metal-laden dust from the drying lakebed may find its way into human bodies.

What is happening at Salton Sea is now prominent in Great Salt Lake. One difference is that there are fewer people living near Salton Sea. Toxins From Great Salt Lake Dust Absorbed by Plants, Soils, Human Bodies. #pollution #drought #water #toxins #airpollution #Utah www.usu.edu/today/story/...

Scientists searching for air pollution clues stumbled onto something unexpected: toxic MCCPs drifting through the air for the first time in the Western Hemisphere. The likely source—fertilizer made from sewage sludge—points to a hidden route for contamination.

Chad launches national effort to tackle air pollution and methane Chad has launched a national initiative to address air pollution and reduce methane and other short-lived climate pollutants

Chad is stepping up action on #AirPollution and methane 💨

The country is one of the most dust-exposed in the world, with major health impacts across the region – including pollution-linked infant deaths each year.

A new national plan and methane roadmap aim to change that: buff.ly/6FPvAMP

Understanding #AirPollution goes beyond ground monitoring. Satellite data helps track trends, identify sources, and provide a clearer picture of #AirQuality across regions. Learn how Digital Earth Africa is making this possible.

London, San Francisco and Beijing achieve ‘remarkable reductions’ in air pollution Cycle lanes, electric cars and other interventions have helped 19 global cities slash levels of pollutants by more than 20%

This is so doable.

"The analysis found interventions such as cycle lanes, uptake of electric cars and restrictions on polluting vehicles had helped to drive the improvements."
