Brooke Martin+FollowWhere’s My Money Really Going?Ever wonder if your retirement fund is actually helping the planet? Turns out, most big investment funds are still putting twice as much cash into polluting fuels like coal and gas than into clean energy—even after all those green promises. So, while you’re recycling and biking to work, your 401(k) might be fueling the next heatwave. If you want your money to work for a cooler planet, check if your fund offers eco-friendly options or ask your provider to add them! #Business #Industry #MoneyTalks11Share

Vincent Perry+FollowAre Airports Giving Away Our Location?Ever wondered if aliens could find us just by tracking airport signals? Turns out, our airport radars are basically glowing beacons in space, visible up to 200 light-years away! Researchers say our tech is like a cosmic 'We're here!' sign. While it’s unlikely we’ll get surprise visitors, this discovery is a wake-up call: the more connected our world gets, the more we broadcast ourselves—literally. Maybe it’s time to think about what we’re sharing, even with the universe! #Business #Industry #SpaceTalk42Share
awaters+FollowWould You Live in a Wooden Skyscraper?Move over, steel and concrete—there’s a new building material in town! A Maryland startup just dropped 'superwood,' which is basically wood on superhero mode: it’s fire- and water-resistant, way stronger than steel (but lighter), and made with a process that’s way cleaner for the planet. Imagine your next apartment or office tower being made of wood that’s tough enough to handle anything. This could mean greener cities and maybe even lower insurance bills down the line. Would you trust your home to superwood? #Business #Industry #Innovation30Share
awaters+FollowPrivate Jets: The Ultimate Carbon Splurge?Ever wondered how much damage those flashy private jets really do? Turns out, just one jet can pollute as much as 177 cars in a year! A new study says American private jets are the main culprits, pumping out more emissions than all commercial flights from Heathrow. The kicker? The more people get rich, the more jets hit the skies, making climate goals even harder to reach. Some say taxing these flights could help fund greener travel. Meanwhile, maybe it's time to swap that quick flight for a scenic train ride! #Business #Industry #MoneyTalks30Share
awaters+FollowNASA’s Moon Trip Hits a Speed BumpSo, NASA’s big return-to-the-moon mission just got benched because of a cranky rocket engine. Imagine prepping for the ultimate road trip, only for your car to cough up smoke right before you hit the highway. The delay means we’ll have to wait even longer for moon selfies, and it’s a reminder that even space pros can get tripped up by old parts. Sometimes, it pays to upgrade instead of patching up the old ride! #Business #Industry #NASA243Share
Jerry Clark+FollowCould Your Power Bill Go Up? Reform’s Big MoveHeads up if you’re watching your energy bills: Reform UK just told wind and solar companies they’d scrap a key deal that keeps green energy prices steady if they win power. That means less incentive for companies to build clean energy here, which could mean more expensive, imported gas down the line. Translation? We might end up paying more for power and miss out on local jobs. Energy drama alert! #Business #Industry #EnergyBills26Share
Kristin Shaw+FollowWhy Your Groceries Might Cost More SoonHeads up: The USDA just dropped a rule that stops considering race and gender for farm aid, which could hit Black farmers hard. That means fewer grants and less support for the folks growing food in underserved communities. If you’ve noticed fresh produce getting pricier or harder to find, this could be why. Farmers say these changes make it even tougher to keep food on our tables, especially in areas already struggling with food deserts. #Business #Industry #FoodForThought149Share
Vincent Perry+FollowSolar Panels on Farms? Genius Move!Ever thought your veggie patch could double as a power plant?

Would you try it? #Business #Industry #agrivoltaics40Share
