π In Climate Cooldown, βPlant Rich Dietβ help reduce our impact by better use of land and water, biodiversity conservation, resource conservation and food security.
ππ₯¦π₯π₯π
A plant-rich diet has a lower environmental footprint, requires fewer resources such as land and water, helps protect biodiversity, conserves resources, and contributes to global food security by utilizing resources more efficiently and improving food availability.
Eating lower on the food chain and ensuring whatβs grown gets eaten (not wasted) is a powerful combination that lowers farming inputs, land-clearing, and emissions like carbon.

π In Climate Cooldown, "Wave" is a sustainable Power card that helps enable you to divest from unsustainable Power cards like "Petroleum." The motion of waves is initiated when the wind traverses the surface of the ocean. As long as the waves travel at a velocity lower than the wind speed immediately above them, the energy from the wind is effectively transferred to the waves.
πππππ
Wave power is a sustainable and renewable energy. Wave power is the capture of energy of wind waves to do useful work β for example, electricity generation, water desalination, or pumping water.

π In Climate Cooldown, "Reduce Food Waste" is a Cooldown card that reduces our carbon footprint by eliminating unnecessary food waste which causes greenhouse gas emissions and providing more food to people who need it.
πποΈβ»οΈπ½οΈπ₯¦
Approximately one-third of the global food supply goes unconsumed. By minimizing losses and waste, we have the power to diminish the demand for land and resources dedicated to food production, while also mitigating the emission of greenhouse gasses during the entire process.

π In Climate Cooldown, "Dumping" is a Disaster card that increases the global emissions and has harmful effect to the water supply. Improper waste management adversely affects both land and aquatic ecosystems.
π―ποΈπ―ποΈπ―
Improperly managed garbage and chemical waste may pollute and contaminate soil on land as well as bodies of water damaging both land and aquatic ecosystems.
To mitigate these harmful effects, responsible waste management practices are essential. This includes proper recycling, waste reduction, safe disposal methods, and the enforcement of environmental regulations. Additionally, raising awareness about the importance of responsible waste management and encouraging sustainable practices is crucial in protecting ecosystems and human health.

π In Climate Cooldown, "No-catch Fishing Reserves" is a Cooldown card that helps heal the oceans by preventing overfishing in large areas. This allows for the fish to thrive and reestablish their place in their natural habitats.
π«π£ππ¦π¦π
"No-catch" fishing zones help to prevent the global issue of overfishing by allowing for certain areas of bodies of water to be deemed illegal to fish in. By limiting places countries can fish in, we allow for populations of sea life to be restored.

π In Climate Cooldown, "Proforestation" is a Cooldown card that helps to protect the old growth forests which are integral to supporting life on the planet. Protecting these lands ensures a sustainable future for diverse wildlife as well as important lands which provide large "carbon sinks" which help offset our current emissions.
π²π³π²π³π²
The great forests that have long existed on the Earth draw in huge amounts of carbon from the atmosphere. Proforestation is protecting the forests there still are, encouraging them to continue to heal and grow.

π In Climate Cooldown, βBioremediationβ is a Cooldown card that helps improve the water quality of the planet by eliminating environmental contaminants where there is pollution.
ππ ππ π
Bioremediation is a process used to treat contamination in water, soil and subsurface material. This biodegradation process can either eliminate environmental contaminants or reduce their risks.
Mycology, the study of fungi, plays a crucial role in bioremediation by utilizing fungi's unique metabolic capabilities to degrade pollutants like hydrocarbons and heavy metals, enhancing plant growth in contaminated soil, and even harnessing certain fungi to absorb and remove toxic metals from the environment.Β
Fungi's adaptability to extreme conditions, biosorption abilities, and potential for bioaugmentation make them valuable tools for cleaning up contaminated environments, but successful bioremediation projects require collaboration among mycologists, environmental scientists, and engineers, taking into account specific contaminants and environmental factors.
