NASA scientists are actively engaged in discussions concerning global food security. Their unique expertise, often stemming from space exploration and Earth observation, provides valuable insights into this critical challenge.

These discussions likely explore how space-based technologies, such as satellite monitoring, can enhance agricultural practices, predict crop yields, and manage resources more effectively. Furthermore, research into sustainable food systems for long-duration space missions offers potential solutions applicable to terrestrial food production, addressing future food needs.

Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) documented the University of California, San Diego's (UCSD) microgrid, a leading example of a locally controlled electricity network interconnected with the larger grid. This system manages 42 megawatts of generating capacity, comprising a central cogeneration plant, solar photovoltaic installations, and a fuel cell utilizing natural gas reclaimed from a landfill.

RMI seeks to identify and amplify solutions capable of transforming the electricity system. Learn more about their work at http://www.rmi.org/electricity.

The "Race for American Jobs: Clean Energy Leadership" was a four-week, coast-to-coast virtual campaign by BICEP, in partnership with We Can Lead. It aimed to highlight the economic and job-creation benefits of national climate and energy legislation, advocating for investment in a low-carbon economy and establishing a carbon price.

The campaign engaged business leaders nationwide through events in Oregon, Colorado, Ohio, and New Hampshire, concluding in Washington on March 10. Each event featured panel discussions with major consumer brands and local clean economy entrepreneurs, contributing to thought leadership in Sustainability, Clean Tech, and Energy in 2010.

The Natural History Institute presents author Gary Paul Nabhan, discussing "The Nature of Three Deserts - Sonoran and Arabian and the Desert Within."

Nabhan's latest anthology, *The Nature of Desert Nature*, challenges traditional notions, redefining what a desert is and can be. His essays passionately reveal the complexity and significance of these unique environments. Through history, culture, science, and spirit, he celebrates their bounty, turning age-old perceptions on their heads.

Cristal, a first-generation Mexican from Gary, Indiana, is passionate about environmental justice and climate change, recognizing its disproportionate impact on BIPOC communities. Her work, rooted in ancestral connections to Madre Tierra, focuses on amplifying the voices of youth of color. She believes in sharing her platform to ensure their messages are heard.

This TEDx talk emphasizes the urgent need to invite youth of color into the broader climate change conversation. As Rigoberta Menchú stated, our "militarized, fenced-in, poisoned" Mother Earth demands action. Cristal, pursuing a doctorate in environmental racism, teaches and develops curriculum to empower these brilliant young scholars. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

Southern California Edison (SCE) aims to cut carbon emissions 40% below 1990 levels by 2030, targeting an 80% carbon-free electric grid. Gary Barsley outlines SCE's strategy for achieving clean power and widespread electrification.

This involves decarbonizing the electric sector, electrifying transportation and buildings, and significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. SCE's Emerging Products division actively assesses new technologies to support these ambitious goals.

This discussion was recorded on May 16, 2019, for the "Institute for Energy Efficiency" series. For more information, visit: http://www.uctv.tv/

U.S. wetlands are in crisis, with half of these vital ecosystems in the lower 48 states vanishing since the 1780s. A 2023 Supreme Court decision removed federal protections, leaving remaining wetlands vulnerable to draining and filling.

Wetlands are crucial for biodiversity; nearly 50% of threatened and endangered species rely on them, with over 33% living exclusively there. Their loss degrades water quality, increases flood risks, and accelerates extinction; many endangered wetland species lack critical habitat protection.

Urge the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to protect more critical habitat for wetland-dependent species. Learn more and act at www.saveourfreshwater.org.
