3 ways that you can support sucking extra carbon from the air

<p>If you’re looking for a way to put your cash into helping the climate crisis, there are several new companies that let you pay for offsets that involve sequestering carbon in rocks, trees, and the soil.</p><br /><p>Transforming the entire economy to get to net zero emissions, something that scientists say is necessary to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, will require massive and complicated transformations of nearly every aspect of society. But if you want to act on climate change now as an individual—and you’re already doing the main work of pressuring the government and companies to make systemic changes—it’s possible to subscribe to suck carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and turn it into a rock that can be stored underground.</p><p>Read Full Story</p><div class="feedflare"><br /> <br /></div>

Motorola is building a new kind of walkie-talkie for first responders

<p>The higher-tech device could free up dispatchers for true emergencies—because you’d rather have a person answering 911 calls than looking up license plates. </p><br /><br /><br /><p>Smartphones are handy devices, but they don’t do much good in emergencies. If a hurricane knocks down a few cell towers, or forest fires tear through the already thin infrastructure of remote areas, cell-phone communication can simply disappear. Which is why, to this day, first responders like police officers and firefighters rely on LMR, or “land mobile radios” (aka walkie-talkies). Walkie-talkies have a range of a few miles and are used to coordinate everything from routine information requests to dispatch to deep-disaster response inside a crumbling building.</p><p>Read Full Story</p><div class="feedflare"><br /> <br /></div>

Failure will hurt more than you think. Here’s how to learn from it anyway

<p>Failure is often glorified and touted as a lesson, but it’s still a very difficult thing to experience. </p><br /><p>There’s a reason why the <em>Pursuit of Happiness</em>—the true story starring Will Smith about a down-on-his-luck salesman and single dad who finds his way to the top—was a hit. We like to romanticize failure. We root for the underdog at the movies, and we revere the billionaire who started as a college dropout. From a distance, failure seems noble. But in reality, it’s painful and messy.</p><p>Read Full Story</p><div class="feedflare"><br /> <br /></div>

Pixelbook Go: a happy medium between budget and high-end Chromebooks

<p>It’s far from the cheapest Chromebook on the market. But Google’s latest is much nicer than bargain models.</p><br /><p>Beginning in 2013 with the original Chromebook Pixel—the first touch-screen Chrome OS device—and continuing through 2017’s Pixelbook, the Chrome OS laptops that Google has designed and sold itself have been expensive, high-end devices.  In contrast, the company’s new Pixelbook Go had two primary design goals: creating a more mobile and affordable Pixelbook experience. It starts at $649–not cheap by overall standards for Chromebooks, but considerably less intimidating than past Pixelbook prices. And it’s largely successful at what it apsires to do.</p><p>Read Full Story</p><div class="feedflare"><br /> <br /></div>

Should we outlaw SUVs?

<p>They are an enormous cause of emissions, and deadly to pedestrians? Is it time for automakers to stop selling them or cities to stop allowing them on their streets?</p><br /><p>Over the last decade, global SUV ownership has doubled. In that time, the vehicles contributed more to the increase in global CO2 emissions than airlines, trucks, or heavy industry, according to an analysis by the International Energy Agency. Even if we add nearly 150 million electric cars to the road by 2040, if SUV ownership grows at its current rate, they’ll offset that entire emissions reduction. And while they’re spewing emissions, they also have a more tangible cost: They’re more likely than smaller cars to kill pedestrians, contributing to a steep rise in pedestrian deaths.</p><p>Read Full Story</p><div class="feedflare"><br /> <br /></div>
