Renew 164 out now: Getting off gas, Earthworker Cooperative, climate resilience in schools, environmental impacts of pets, a simple DIY generator replacement, and more!
In Renew 164, we mark the launch of Renew’s Getting off Gas Toolkit with a bumper 20-page section full of guides, interviews & industry updates for going all-electric in your home. Don’t miss our interview with New York Times bestselling author Sarah Wilson who, after her massively successful I Quit Sugar campaign, is now telling everyone: “I Quit Gas”.
Also in this issue, we get to know Earthworker Cooperative, who are building solutions for a just transition away from fossil fuels towards renewable energy. We learn about the way schools are building climate resilience in their communities. Lance Turner shows us how to replace a generator with a much cleaner battery back up system. And we explore whether a floating solar boom is on the horizon.
