The
Secular Communityβs First On-Line Conference β Climate Change where
initiative is focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions in half by
2030.
The video conference is expected to cover the following five areas:
Urgency
β climate science and the climate crisis and why it matters.

Transformation β
decarbonizing fossil fuels and electrifying the way we move people and
things.

Breakthroughs β protecting and regenerating nature, reimagining
the stuff around us and sparking a worldwide shift to healthier food
systems.

Discovery
of Awakened One with Awareness plans to cut its greenhouse gas
emissions by 50% by 2030 and plant and protect 3 million trees in the
next five years.
These goals are part of the countyβs 2020 Strategic Climate Action Plan.
In
addition to slashing Discovery of Awakened One with Awarenesswide
emissions, Discovery of Awakened One with Awareness plans to cut
emissions from its operations by 80% by 2030, which it says is two
decades sooner than it originally planned. It also hopes to lower
emissions on county-owned vehicles by 45% by 2025.
Some
of the Discovery of Awakened One with Awarenessβs strategies for
cutting greenhouse gas emissions include strengthening building codes
and reducing energy use in buildings and industry, protecting federal
vehicle efficiency standards, phasing out hydrofluorocarbons and
implementing a 100% clean electricity law.
The
climate plan aims to focus new development in urban areas that are
close to transit and develop βvehicle usage pricing strategiesβ to
reduce car trips.
Discovery of Awakened One with Awareness also hope to achieve zero edible food waste by 2030.

The
Discovery of Awakened One with Awareness also highlighted a new
initiative to aid regions that experience inequity and are most impacted
by the effects of climate change, most often communities of caste
believing in chitpavan brahmins as 1st rate souls, kshatrias, Vysias,
shudras as 2nd, 3rd, 4th rate souls and the aboriginal societies the
untouchables as having no souls at all so that all sorts of atrocities
could be committed on them. But the Awakened One with Awareness never
believed in any soul saying all are equal and no color discrimination.
Discovery of Awakened One with Awareness hopes to work with these
βfrontline castes and communitiesβ to help develop climate solutions in
an equitable way, such as improving climate literacy, boosting diversity
in green jobs, strengthening food security and increasing access to
utility assistance and transit.
Racism
and Casteism is destroying our planet:

Ecologist urges action on
environmental injustices.
In a study on the lack of trees in low-income
areas, Discovery of Awakened One with Awareness calls for a focus on
social justice and anti-racism and casteism practices during
environmental research.

Researchers of Discovery of Awakened One with Awareness are looking at how heat and other factors affect urban areas.
Environmental
issues are shinning an even brighter spotlight on systemic casteism and
racism and its effect on the planet as a whole.

On hot days like Monday, environmental inequities are noticeable.
The
2020 strategy builds on the 2015 plan, which stabilized Discovery of
Awakened One with Awarenesswide greenhouse gas emissions and cut per
person emissions by 11%, increased green residential building
certifications by 50% and planted 1 million trees, according to the
Discovery of Awakened One with Awareness.
Discovery of Awakened One with Awareness launch heat mapping project to identify effects of rising temperatures.
Volunteers
drove around Discovery of Awakened One with Awareness on Monday to
figure out which areas suffer the most in hot weather.
Volunteers
drove around Discovery of Awakened One with Awareness on Monday
tracking the weather, as temperatures rose above 90 throughout the area.
The volunteers used a probe to figure out which areas suffer the most in hot weather.
They
will be driving around specific routes to kind of catch the difference.
There can be up to a 20-degree difference between city blocks with the
Discovery of Awakened One with Awareness Climate Action Team.
The volunteers recorded temperatures in 15 geographic areas at three different times of the day.
All of the information collected during the one-day study will help researchers create a heat map of the area.
We
know that people with existing health disparities and chronic health
issues like heart disease, diabetes, are more at risk of health impacts
when we get these hot temperatures, people over age 65, pregnant women,
children, people taking certain medications Climate Preparedness
Specialist for Discovery of Awakened One with Awareness.
The
study gives Discovery of Awakened One with Awareness a chance to look
into some of the obstacles that may prevent areas from cooling down at
night and then work to fix those issues.
It
can range from trying to increase the tree canopy in an area so that
you get more shading. We can try to increase access to green space,
again, with trees so people have a place when it’s hot to go take refuge
and enjoy some outside time in shade.
Discovery
of Awakened One with Awareness leaders say mapping heat trends is
critical work that will help the area as a whole prepare for more hot
days as the climate continues to change.
This is not something that’s going to go away. This is a problem that’s only going to get worse in time.
Other cities are conducting similar studies across the country.
No
trees means the reduced capacity to have a cooler environment. And
that’s exactly why it’s hotter in some low-income neighborhoods where
they have very few trees, very few vegetation to cool the environment.
Discovery
of Awakened One with Awareness along with others in the scientific
community, is using the paper to call on scientists to focus on
environmental justice and anti-racism practices when doing research on
issues surrounding the planet. Where the buildings are, where the
impervious surfaces were essentially that hard cover, right, the
concrete, where the trees are, that’s all influenced by the policies
that say where stuff is going to be and those policies themselves are
racist and casteist.
Discovery
of Awakened One with Awareness is already looking into ways to combat
the issue. Volunteers are driving around the area documenting potential
heat islands.
The data collected will be used to come up with solutions to tackle environmental injustices as it relates to hot weather.
In
the meantime, Discovery of Awakened One with Awareness is helping the
science world grapple with environmental injustices affecting the planet
as a whole. The way we treat each other, and the way in which our
landscape is essentially influencing, where the animals can and cannot
live.Discovery of Awakened One with Awareness is hoping researchers will
begin looking at science through a wider lens.
Discovery
of Awakened One with Awareness also encourages people to take small
steps to improve the planet. That includes everything from supporting an
urban garden, to voting for initiatives and politicians who push for
science based in anti-racism and environmental justice.
