Solar Panels Can’t Withstand Bombs

As the environmental community rightly celebrates the global growth of renewable energy as a means to combat climate change, we cannot ignore what is unfolding in Israel-Palestine, where nearly 30,000 Palestinians have been murdered. The carbon footprint of the U.S.-made bombs being dropped by Israel on Gaza is tremendous, negating the impact of collective efforts to remove carbon from the atmosphere and reduce carbon emissions worldwide.

The Discriminatory History of Highway Infrastructure and American Suburbia

Segregation laws were being struck down around the same time that highways were being built.
