Over half of US states get more electricity from #cleanenergy than coal.

28 states total, including:

Oklahoma
Kansas
South Dakota

Coal is the worst #fossilfuel for environment (and public health). 20 years ago, over half of US electricity came from coal.

Once again: clean energy investment and policy helps red states, too.

🚆🚌 Air quality monitoring on the go! Bruce from Vancouver has been using his co2.click sensor on public transit and in healthcare settings to stay informed about the air he’s breathing. 😷💨

He shared some great constructive feedback—wishing the button placement was different and considering a DIY protective cover (bicycle inner tube, anyone? 😆). We love hearing how our sensors are used in the real world and turning feedback into action! 💡✨

Bruce’s suggestions are now on our list of improvements as we continue refining our designs. Got a creative mod or suggestion? Drop it in the comments! 📢👇

A local ordinance has banned grass burning because it poisons the air and kills insects, and there are organic waste bins on every corner. Unfortunately, the effect is just the opposite. People who aren't selfish idiots didn't burn grass even before, and the rest burn even more now to show that they aren't obedient sheep and that no one is going to take away their freedom to poison the air for their neighbors.

This graph shows what it does to the #airquality. It immediately jumps from OK to unhealthy.
