Last week, we launched http://DecarbMyState.com at #chn500

Here's my lightning talk on how and why you should electrify your stuff and NOT resign to be a climate doomer

The path to fixing climate change is not through congress, but the states.

We were especially inspired by @GriffithSaul's book Electrify: An Optimist's Playbook for Our Clean Energy Future https://bookshop.org/books/electrify-an-optimists-playbook-for-our-clean-energy-future/9780262046237

Thank you to @GriffithSaul and my @chihacknight co-founder Juan-Pablo Velez for your vision and clarity on climate change solutions

A huge thank you to the @chihacknight volunteers who built this site over the past 6 months!

So go to http://decarbmystate.com to get started. And learn how you can electrify your own home and participate in campaigns to pass policy to electrify the rest

If we focus on electrification, we can take a huge step (65%) in eliminating climate pollution permanently. It's not everything, but its a big start

5 1

Derek Eder 7/13/2022, 7:53:27 PM

And we track how many of our buildings and cars have been electrified and how much wind and solar has been built

5 1

Derek Eder 7/13/2022, 7:53:26 PM

We count and name every coal, gas and oil plant that needs to close

6 1

Derek Eder 7/13/2022, 7:53:26 PM

We can see CO2 equivalent emissions over time and how much each state has to reduce by 2050.

Let's look at Illinois:

4 1

Derek Eder 7/13/2022, 7:53:25 PM

It allows us to look at each state (plus DC), and count all the emissions for each and where they come from

4 1

Derek Eder 7/13/2022, 7:53:23 PM

http://decarbmystate.com helps with this by organizing all the emissions and electrification data for each state in one place

5 2

Derek Eder 7/13/2022, 7:53:22 PM

Replacing these dirty machines with clean ones is known as ✨clean electrification ✨

If you look at the problem from this angle, we can start tackling the biggest sources of emissions with the same playbook: Electrify Everything

6 1

Derek Eder 7/13/2022, 7:53:22 PM

And look to the biggest sources of climate pollution: the machines we use to heat our homes, cook our food, get us places, and produce our power

9 1

Derek Eder 7/13/2022, 7:53:20 PM

We need to focus on the bigger picture

6 1

Derek Eder 7/13/2022, 7:53:20 PM

These are efficiency and lifestyle changes. Even if we all do them, it will only reduce emissions 10-15%. By all means, do them, but don't stop there ...

5 1

Derek Eder 7/13/2022, 7:53:19 PM

But what? You may have heard some advice on how you can stop climate change.

Recycle!
Eat less meat!
Take the bus!
Don't use plastic straws!

Derek Eder 7/13/2022, 7:53:18 PM

It's up to us to keep bending that curve down below 2 degrees warming by 2100.

You can do something about climate change, and it will make a difference

5 1

Derek Eder 7/13/2022, 7:53:17 PM

But 3 degrees of warming is still really bad. Ecosystems will break down, intense hurricanes and fires will increase. Hundreds of millions of people will be displaced from their homes.

4 2

Derek Eder 7/13/2022, 7:53:15 PM

With global temperatures predicted to rise to 1.5 to 3 degrees by 2100, we've already started to bend the temperature curve down to avoid the climate apocalypse.

The City of Chicago announces a new digital service delivery team staffed by city employees. I advocated for this while on Mayor Lightfoot's transition team.

Thank you @chicagosmayor and @ChicagoCDO for taking this positive step forward

If you care about abortion access, the most impactful thing you can do at the moment is to donate money
