The second post is by Jerri Jerreat, a writer who writes about a festival that allows youth to creatively explore solutions about climate change.
We also have stories about LEGO’s sustainable efforts, how seagrass meadows can build shorelines, home composting options, new recycling technologies for old turbines, and the top solar-powered sports stadiums in the US.
