Good food doesn’t always come from sustainable places. Chances are likely that they’re overall unsustainable. Today, 4 billion people today rely on nitrogen fertilizer to grow their food. That fertilizer is made from extremely destructive fossil fuels. Can we make sustainable nitrogen fertilizer by engineering plant microbes? What if we could engineer the microbes that naturally live on the roots of plants? Switch Bioworks is a biotech startup that is attempting just this. Their mission is to feed the world sustainably 🌱 🔬 Learn more about how and why they’re doing this in our latest film with them: https://lnkd.in/gHq2QwVf. #ReinventingTomorrow #SustainableFood  Presented by Change Forces, investing to create a sustainable climate and improve the livelihoods of all people: https://lnkd.in/dFUBrhFQ.

An estimated 90 billion pounds of food is wasted every year. Despite this, 44 million people in this country don’t know where their next meal is coming from. How can we waste so much food in the U.S. when so many people are facing food insecurity? This is a huge missed opportunity that begs the question– where is our food coming from, where is it going, and how do we get it to the people who need it the most?  Well, you’ll find out in Episode 3 of Where the Internet Lives! It highlights how Feeding America, the largest hunger relief and food rescue organization in the U.S., is using AI and data to better visualize our food system and help solve the logistical challenges that currently lead to people facing hunger. With detailed and real-time data available at their fingertips, Feeding America can identify gaps in the supply chain, and mobilize resources to properly distribute food to the 60,000 local food banks and food pantries across America 📊📈 Watch Episode 3 of WTIL to learn more about how AI and Google’s data infrastructure are being used to rethink our supply chain issues and solve food insecurity in America: https://lnkd.in/ewS8riPP 👀 #WhereTheInternetLives #WTIL #foodsecurity #climatechange #AI #machinelearning #innovation Kate Brandt Mikolaj W.

We’re at a critical juncture when it comes to climate change. While we’re already experiencing climate disasters, we have a few years to start making system-wide changes to our economy in order to prevent worse climate catastrophes to come.

Do you ever think about who keeps your lights on? Or what would happen if we experienced a grid-wide blackout? 🪫💡 We’re at an inflection point with the power grid- we’re electrifying more things at a scale we’ve never seen before. As we’ve just seen with two devastating hurricanes impacting states across the southeast, we’re experiencing more extreme weather and we have never run the grid as hard as we are now. It’s time for us to re-think the power grid, and find resilient and innovative tools to bring more renewable forms of electricity online faster. Tools like Tapestry, which is powered by Google’s Data Infrastructure and AI, can help forecast the future of electricity demand, allowing grid operators and planners to make smarter decisions that protect us from experiencing blackouts.

Wildfires are inevitable, but wildfire disasters don’t have to be. For centuries, fire was understood as a natural part of the ecosystem, until we tried to control it—and that hasn’t gone as planned. Now, as climate change accelerates, we’re facing the consequences: record-breaking fires across the western U.S. year after year. At the Missoula Fire Sciences Lab, they're doing things differently. By combining machine learning with decades of fire behavior research, they’re developing revolutionary tools that not only predict how fires spread, but explain why. This breakthrough work, made possible by a partnership with Google Research, gives them the processing power to tackle one of the biggest challenges of our time. Check out this video with Research Forester Mark Finney to see how we’re moving toward a future where fire is part of a resilient ecosystem—not a destructive force.

There’s so much talk of data center energy use and the dangers of AI. Are they just fossil fuel-driven doomsday machines or can they be climate superheroes? WHERE THE INTERNET LIVES is an award-winning documentary and podcast series centered around Google’s data centers and the AI they power. Each week, we’ll be dropping a new video and podcast episode, taking you on an eye-opening journey into how. The series dives into how Google’s data infrastructure is shaping community resilience when facing wildfires, power grid overloads, plastic garbage, air pollution, and food waste. 38% of all the food in the U.S. ends up in the landfill, while 44 million people don’t know where their next meal is coming from. Energy blackouts can  impact millions of people overnight. Extreme weather displaces generations of family homes, businesses, and even entire towns.  This season also focuses on how these new data-powered technologies make the invisible, visible. With the help of AI, data analysts, scientists, and researchers are uncovering innovative ways to see and understand the critical problems we’re facing. From advanced fire behavior models to a groundbreaking satellite detecting methane leaks from space, data is offering unprecedented insights that were previously beyond reach. As climate storytellers, we learned so much throughout this process, and we had a blast making such a cinematic series. Check out the trailer! https://lnkd.in/gsF4F_Dh #AI #machinelearning #innovation #climatechange Kate Brandt Mikolaj Walczuk Molly Miller Kip Pastor Hana Leshner Melissa Kepen Joshua Morin Blaze Nowara Alexander Zimmer Jeremy Handrup Anuj Jamadagni Staci MacKenzie Latitude Media Stephen Lacey Scott Clavenna Jenna Herzog Anne Bailey Daniel Woldorff Stephanie Zidek Rey Banatao @Aviva S.

Did you know that the US Forest Service uses AI/ML to predict fires? That AI/data centers are helping companies recycle waste to the molecular level to be fashioned into virgin materials? Or the EDF/Google launched a Methane SAT to see, identify, and track methane emissions? The newest season of WHERE THE INTERNET LIVES is here! If you want to watch it vertically on TikTok, I'm sorry to say, you can't. Watch it in its cinematic glory in 1.85 widescreen on YouTube. So much love, dedication, hard work, and collaboration went into this series. I am deeply grateful to the folks at Google, their partners, the individuals doing the work, Latitude Media, and to the humans at Pique Action. *For the record, I do love vertical formats. I also love shooting in a widescreen movie theater aspect ratio. https://lnkd.in/gGNRAMyj Mikolaj Walczuk Molly Miller Hana Leshner Melissa Kepen Joshua Morin Blaze Nowara Alexander Zimmer Jeremy Handrup Anuj Jamadagni Staci MacKenzie Stephen Lacey Scott Clavenna Jenna Herzog Anne Bailey Daniel Woldorff Stephanie Zidek Rey Banatao Aviva S.

🌊 "We all like to think that everybody wants to hear our story, but that’s not always true. You have to focus on what your audience wants first.” 📆 We invited Kip Pastor of Pique Action to discuss effective climate storytelling with Climate Vine Members. 💡 His main tip was to concentrate on a single, clear message that would: 1. Avoid fear-inducing narratives 2. Balance urgency with positivity 3. Focus on actionable steps individuals can take We tried to follow his advice for this short and sweet post -- would love your thoughts in the comments about some of the most effective climate storytelling you've seen!
