“What about the batteries?” I asked - Volvo uses #blockchain technology to track and trace the cobalt it obtains and uses in its electric vehicle batteries, to make the most sustainable choices.
That’s when I fell in love !
This baby is the S60 hybrid car — hybrid meaning it runs on electric and petrol. Running on hybrid reduces greenhouse gas emissions. The batteries are also charged kinetically! During gentle braking with the brake pedal, the car's kinetic energy is converted to electrical energy, which is used to charge the hybrid battery.
Across the next six months I’ll be sharing with you my journey with Volvo. If you have any questions drop them below and I’ll try to answer them in the comments or in my next posts!
(Btw did you know that bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants in the world. This makes it particularly suitable as a tool for carbon sequestration (absorbing carbon) compared to other trees, and as a result, has a high ability to mitigate climate change - source: INBAR/ UNEP)

climate change questions 在 說說能源 Talk That Energy Facebook 的最佳貼文
【歐盟回我信了】
#究竟他們能源政策有無核能 #信中說有
雖然防疫期間大家已經不太關心能源議題發生甚麼事,但猶豫一下後,還是現在把訊息放上來。關於前陣子歐盟能源政策與台灣事實查核中心的爭議一事,我在事實查核中心對我提出的資料文件不採信也不修改文字後,我們一群小朋友將他們查核報告中的結論翻作英文,寫信去歐盟請求協助。
而稍早,過了大約一個月,他們也回覆我了,雖然簡短且附上的訊息都是我看過且呈現給大家過的文件,但我想應該已經足夠。也感謝這些辦事人員在歐洲疫情嚴峻之餘仍願意回覆我的信件,希望一切安好。

▊這是我寄的信
Dear Sir/Madam,
A deep appreciation to you taking time off to read this e-mail.
We are a group of youths from Taiwan who are deeply concerned about the energy development of our nation, as part of a collective effort to mitigate climate change.
We hereby write to you to seek clarifications on some factual accounts of recent events in the EU.
In a recent report published by Taiwan Factcheck Center (TFC), it has indicated the following:
1. The “European Green Deal for the European Union (EU) has excluded the financing of nuclear energy from the Just Transition Fund set forth”, and
2. That “nuclear energy would be ineligible for – or have little chance in being part of – future plans on sustainable development”.
3. The fact-check report then went on to conclude that “the EU will not change its goal in the phase-out of nuclear energy, but each member state is left to assess and decide on its own timeline, on the grounds of laying out a clean, sustainable and affordable energy policy as stipulated by the EU Green Deal”.
We seek your assistance in verifying the accuracy and truthfulness of the aforementioned details, please.
We understand that the EU has always been at the forefront of energy industry for its visions, goals and cutting-edge technologies, which have made EU the role model for policy makers, professionals and enthusiastic youths around the world.
These include the excellence in development of the renewable energy market and technologies, as well as making significant contributions to carbon reduction by maintaining a strong presence of nuclear energy in its energy mix.
Last but not least, if at all possible, we are also interested in receiving relevant official news reports or official documents from you on the above matter, as these would be invaluable resources for us.
Once again, many thanks and deep appreciation for your time.
Yours Faithfully

This week, we brought back Emily Cardinali on the show! She was one of our very first producers, and she had really wanted to cover sustainable menstrual products with us. So, after our interview with Isabel Aagard last episode, we reached out to Emily about her own experiences with green tampons.
N8 and Emily discuss the guilt of half of our human population, tips on identifying sustainable products, and the pros and cons of every sort of menstrual product sold on the market.

Today’s show is done in collaboration with The Taiwan Take. Subscribe to that show for more Taiwanese perspectives on global issues.
Taiwan’s next referendum will soon vote on activating the nation’s fourth nuclear plant, as well as constructing a natural gas plant on an algal reef that's critical for Taiwan’s biodiversity. These decisions come as governments around the world are scrambling to meet the demands of the Paris Agreement, and as environmental activists fight for a more sustainable planet.
Green Parties propose an alternative voice in politics to tackle our environmental ruin. All over the world, there are 91 Green Parties that believe in committing our governments to environmental stewardship, through electing green movement leaders into office. In Asia, Taiwan is home to the region’s oldest Green Party, which won a National Assembly seat in 1996 - their very first election campaign.
Our guest today is Professor Dafydd Fell, a political scientist at SOAS University of London, and Director of the Centre of Taiwan Studies. Dafydd Fell is author of the new book: “Taiwan’s Green Parties: Alternative Politics in Taiwan”, published in March 2021 by Routledge.

Do you enjoy gaming? Do you enjoy surviving our climate apocalypse? Well, good news! You can enjoy both at the same time!
Last fall, Nature N8 went to a World Climate Simulation event, called En-ROADS, where participants roleplay as all sorts of different sectors to negotiate for better climate policies. N8 finds out what goes on throughout the simulation, and why this game was created in the first place.
Thank you to Omplexity, TWYCC, and the Hive Taipei for organizing this En-ROADS session. And special shoutout to our Patreon patron Brian for inviting us to the event!
You can play En-ROADS yourself on the Climate Interactive website.
Finally, a quote on hope:
“Hope is not a lottery ticket you can sit on the sofa and clutch, feeling lucky. It is an axe you break down doors with in an emergency. Hope should shove you out the door, because it will take everything you have to steer the future away from endless war, from the annihilation of the earth's treasures and the grinding down of the poor and marginal... To hope is to give yourself to the future - and that commitment to the future is what makes the present inhabitable.” ― Rebecca Solnit, Hope in the Dark
