In Turkey they're using wind from passing busses to rotate wind vanes and #solar panels creating electricity to power 20,000 homes. We have the solutions to the #climate crisis. The only thing missing is the political will to implement them ⁠#ActOnClimate #tech #COP24 #climate

No more digging up oil to pave roads - we've got plastic waste in abundance, let's use that.

Wow - what a shocking figure! Such great motivation to swap your single-use items for reusable options that you can use over and over again.

After months of construction work, the first turbines at San Roman Wind Farm are generating electricity acciona.sa/Bpe4304N9xk #renewables

San Roman Wind Farm (Texas, US), partially connected

By the end of the year the 31 AW125/3000 ACCIONA Windpower wind turbines will be totally connected and they will produce enough renewable energy to power more than 30,000 US homes.
