SNIPPET:
Obviously hunting of wild animals is unpopular among
conservationists, and meaningless poaching for exotic pets and
animal parts can never be justified.
However, in many areas around the world, Indigenous and forest
communities have hunted, and continue to hunt, for subsistence.
For them hunting is not a sport or a recreational activity. It's
a food source and a way to balance animal populations.

So, even though it may sound paradoxical at first, hunting can
actually strengthen long-term environmental management, because
it's how Indigenous and forest communities assess forest health
and meet their food-security and livelihood needs. It's also why
Indigenous and forest communities often have a vested interest
in healthy forests and thriving wildlife.

[center]10 Puerto Rican Schools Receive Resilient
Microgrids[/center]
Originally published on RMI.org

A year after Hurricanes Irma and Maria devastated Puerto Rico
and left millions without power, schools have equipped
themselves to withstand future weather events and grid outages
to continue providing education to their students.
Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI), Save the Children, and Kinesis
Foundation have completed the installation of 10 renewable
microgrids in 10 schools located in the mountainous region of
Puerto Rico.
HTML http://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/1/3-120818185039-1655102.gif
Many of the schools that received microgrid systems were without
power for six months after the hurricanes. Four hundred faculty
members and 3,600 students were impacted by this project and now
have access to clean, resilient power if future severe weather
events or grid outages occur.
Save the Children focused on helping schools and their
communities become more resilient in the event of future natural
disasters, and on strengthening social and emotional learning
for the schools’ students. RMI managed the solar microgrid
system installation at school campuses to ensure learning was
not disrupted as it was following the hurricanes in 2018.
Kinesis Foundation and other generous funders provided financial
support for the project.
The project included the installation of sufficient battery and
solar capacity to back up school libraries, administrative
offices, kitchens, and critical water pumps indefinitely in the
event of an outage. Additionally, the project provided roof
waterproofing, energy efficiency retrofits such as LED lighting,
and curriculum support for teachers to incorporate climate
change and renewable energy into their classrooms.
“We are pleased the schools microgrid program will ensure
students and faculty members now have access to a resilient
learning environment. We hope this project will inspire and
encourage other schools and critical facilities to explore solar
microgrids as a pathway to building local energy resilience,”
said Roy Torbert, RMI’s Puerto Rico program leader.
“This project demonstrates Save the Children’s commitment to the
island’s most vulnerable children, since the earliest days after
Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico. Over our nearly 100 years of
working around the world to support children, we know the
important role that schools play in the lives of children,
families and communities. We are very grateful to Rocky Mountain
Institute for their leadership in ensuring lights stay on, even
in the darkest moments after a disaster,” said Teruca Subira,
Save the Children’s Puerto Rico director.
“At Kinesis we are proud to be able to transform the lives of
Puerto Rican youth and to do so permanently. Together with RMI
and Save the Children, we continue to focus in sustainable
initiatives that directly benefit our students and their
communities and facilitate the positive transformation of Puerto
Rico’s education and its infrastructure system,” said Jose
Fernandez Richards, Kinesis Foundation.
RMI is a nonprofit organization and serves as an unbiased
technical advisor and provides implementation support to
governments, utilities, developers and other energy
stakeholders. RMI operates in Puerto Rico under the auspices of
the Islands Energy Program: rmi.org/islands, and focuses on
implementing renewable microgrid programs across the country.
This project was made possible due to support from Kinesis
Foundation, Save the Children, and individual donors.

It’s our job to fight back and dismantle the fossil fuel
economy, hold accountable those who profit off corporate greed,
and build a world that puts a liveable planet and public
interest first. Fossil Free Virunga is a short film that tells
the story of four activists in the Democratic Republic of Congo
who are working to protect their home, to protect the Virunga
National Park from oil exploration. ✊ ➡️

Renewable energy sources like wind and solar are here to stay,
and their dominance on global electricity grids is growing every
day. But for them to work, grids also need energy storage and
the ability to respond instantly to fluctuations in frequency.
Lithium batteries provide a lot of that functionality today, but
now a new smart domestic hot water storage tank has been
developed that not only heats water 20% more efficiently, but
can also use electrical energy when it's free or even negatively
priced. Plus it can talk to the grid and store energy when
renewables are producing too much. Edward De Bono would be
proud! (look him up).
