Welcome to the Happy Eco News weekly roundup.
This week, we have a guest post by Rosmel Rodriguez, a European Union Climate Pact Ambassador who writes about the importance of considering climate shadows.
We also have stories about the return of the Bronx River dolphins, a coral reef restoration project, 4D seeds that can study the soil, the importance of No Mow May, and the world’s largest green hydrogen plant.
If you wish to help support this project, Happy Eco News also has a Patreon account where you can help financially (and get fun gifts). Every penny counts.
We all need some positive news, and that’s what Happy Eco News is here for.
Together, we can Know Action.
