Wonderful to see @HydesKevin receive a USGBC Leadership award tonight at @Greenbuild and so honored to be a part of the incredible work we are doing at @DeepGreenEng !
Back here in #Copenhagen, invited by the mayor and the mayor of Paris for the @c40cities mayors gathering this week with a packed agenda on all aspects of #climatechange and cities’ response. A bike-centric city if ever there was one.
The Amazon rainforest, the "planet's lungs," supplies 20% of the world's oxygen.
Currently, it's burning at a record rate-- 80% higher than the same time last year.
We cannot tolerate political agendas of deforestation.
We will not watch our future burn away.

Even if we go to zero GHG emissions tomorrow we will still have 20 years of pollution whose effects have not yet been felt (there is a time delay from tailpipe to atmospheric warming) We also need to drawdown #carbon as fast as possible & protect arctic ice. @Ice911Research
