Traffic Light Climate Impact Has Easy Fix to Cut Emissions 22% | Happy Eco News
Research shows traffic light climate impact accounts for 15% of U.S. transport emissions. MIT’s eco-driving simulations suggest smartphone-guided traffic smoothing could cut emissions 11–22%. The approach adapts to adoption levels and complements EVs and hybrids, offering a fast, scalable solution for cleaner mobility at intersections nationwide.

Sustainable practices could cut food-related emissions in half
Food systems make up roughly 30% of total greenhouse gas emissions globally. But transforming them could cut these emissions by more than half, according to a report released Oct. 3 from a commission of global experts from more than 35 countries across six continents.

Carney is a carbon industry plant.
nothing says environmental “blank cheque” to industry like: “voluntary certification program”.
"But operators have another compliance option, which some may find controversial because it could give industry players some more leeway. Operators can design their own approaches, providing a facility meets "methane intensity thresholds" that are on par with standards from "leading international voluntary certification programs.””
That's what private forest companies (Mosaic) on Vancouver Island use to claim they are following ‘best practices' as they clear cut whole sides of mountains and leave a 10m ‘riparian zone' around streams while falling trees right over them.
It's a license to make up their own rules and do whatever they want, wider impacts be damned.

Google plans to power a new data center with fossil fuels, yet release almost no emissions
As AI data centers spring up across the country, their energy demand and resulting greenhouse gas emissions are raising concerns. With servers and energy-intensive cooling systems constantly running, these buildings can use anywhere from a few megawatts of power for a small data center to more than 100 megawatts for a hyperscale data center. To put that in perspective, the average large natural gas power plant built in the U.S. generates less than 1,000 megawatts.

Air quality analysis reveals minimal changes after xAI data center opens in pollution-burdened Memphis
Even before an Elon Musk-owned artificial intelligence company opened a data center in southwest Memphis, Tennessee, air pollution was so bad that residents of a nearby neighborhood were far more likely to get cancer from industrial air pollution than average Americans. Our analysis found that air pollution got only slightly worse as a result of the data center.
