Sustainability, environmental ingenuity, green energy, renewable resources, preservation and restoration are critical to affordable housing. These processes save money in the short term and the long term, create efficiencies and best practices, build and strengthen communities, and launch creativity and problem-solving. At TDA, we are deeply proud and committed to our sustainability mission and vision. #CommunityUpgrowthSustainability #EarthDay #EarthDay2024 #HappyEarthDay #Earth #GreenEnergy #AffordableHousingPreservation #RenewableEnergy #AffordableHousing #Housing #SustainableHousing #Nonprofit #NonprofitOrganization #Community #RuralCommunities #SustainableCommunities #AffordableHousingForAll #RuralCommunitiesMatter

We’re celebrating RE-volv a climate justice nonprofit powering communities with clean, affordable energy. Through innovative financing models, RE-volv has helped over 70 nonprofits in 18 states go solar, saving on energy costs and building resilient, thriving communities. Thanks to the #InflationReductionAct, organizations like your local animal shelters, churches, and community centers can save big—up to 30% back on #solar installations, translating into significant savings. But there’s more; each #nonprofit going solar potentially leads to 80 homes adopting solar within 5 years, thanks to the seeding effect.

Mandy Rambharos and colleagues have just released a new Just Transition and Safeguards Framework. This framework provides a comprehensive blueprint for fostering inclusivity and social considerations within energy transition endeavors while offering a structured approach for assessing progress in this regard. Further, it underscores our belief that achieving sustainability in the energy sector necessitates a concerted effort to safeguard the interests of all stakeholders, particularly workers and communities dependent upon the fossil fuel industry.  Luis Fernández Intriago Catherine Leining Euan Richardson https://lnkd.in/gEeT8TiF  

“The [energy] system we have now was not built for all that we do today, and the new demand that’s coming online,” our Laura Lightbody recently told Nicholas (Nick) Nuttall of We Don't Have Time. One big solution? Bipartisan policy to build a clean, reliable electric grid and expand renewable energy solutions.  Laura explains in the full interview below 👇 #cleanenergyjobs #cleantech #energypolicy 

It's essential for the nonprofit sector to advocate for equitable energy transition projects and ensure that equity principles are integrated into the guiding policies. Focusing on the "last mile" of policy implementation can help distribute jobs and benefits effectively. We can rally together to ensure these policies are actionable and impactful for communities in need. #EquityInAction #EnergyTransition #RenewableEnergy #CleanEnergy #SocialImpact A good read from Inside Philanthropy, Don Howard and Matt Horton

It’s Earth day today 🌍 Greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels reached a record 36.8 billion metric tonnes in 2023. Clearly, more action is needed to protect our planet. Our services support local and national non-profit organisations that care about people and the environment. Putting communities and the planet first. #EarthDay #Earth #BusinessEnergy #EnergyUK

UJDP Partners: UJDP partners with organizations such as Coming Clean to support projects like the Louisville Charter for Safer Communities. This project holds ten "planks" that work together to make lasting and impactful change in communities. "1. Address the Significant Impacts of Chemical Production and Use on Climate Change, including the significant reduction or elimination of fossil fuels and other greenhouse gases in every part of the chemical production process, from plastic creation to the production of fluorinated gases that on their own exacerbate climate change."

One out of every 10 people on the planet live without electricity. 🔌 For millions of people, life after dark stops. This lack of power can limit what we might take for granted, such as cooking and cleaning. It strains the ability for income-generating opportunities to daylight hours and hinders students from reading or studying after sunset. So Twende Solar works to fill the gap with #solar energy providing a clean, reliable source of power for even the most remote communities. Utilizing its expertise in system design, project logistics and installation, this nonprofit seeks to empower economically marginalized communities worldwide with sustainable source of electricity by bridging the gap between renewable energy experts and under-resourced populations. This #Oregon based organization is one of more than 100 nonprofits featured at EarthGives🌎org - a one-stop platform for YOU to invest in #climate action, #climatejustice and #environmentalstewardship. Together, we can boost #climate #generosity past just 2% of all giving. 💚👈Recurring donations welcome. Go Robin Swanhuyser!
