The clothing industry's carbon emissions are set to increase 30% by 2030, largely due to 'fashion cycles' increasing from two per year to as many as 100 per year. 30 billion pounds of clothes end up in the landfill! Read the article to learn how you can lower your impact by reusing and buying sustainable brands!

Check out the recap article on our recent Clean Energy & Sustainability Extravaganza by Leaders in Energy member, Elizabeth Garduza, who joined us from Cancun, Mexico to report on the sessions. This year, the event consisted of two panels focused on three critical themes in the transition towards clean energy–the role of women in the energy sector, circular economy, and sustainability. The article also includes a link to the event recording.

President Biden's new infrastructure package includes $80 billion for Amtrak and freight rail, $85 billion for public transit, $174 billion for electric vehicles, $200 billion for weatherizing homes, and $100 billion for modernizing the electric grid. It takes, however, fewer auto workers to build an electric car and clean energy is a similar story. Therefore, Biden (and all of us) must convince Americans that they will have a job in the clean-energy future we hope to build. |

In addition to green investments, tripling Canada's carbon price by 2030 remains central to its climate plan. Carbon pricing guarantees long-term emissions reductions and is preferred by businesses as opposed to regulations that could change with a new government. The Supreme Court ruling upholding the policy will benefit startups working to mitigate climate change. 90% of the revenue from the tax is given back to Canadians in the form of a rebate.
