This environmental video essay examines the true cost of Amazon Prime shipping. It investigates how Amazon's rapid delivery demands, including services like Amazon Flex and warehouse operations, severely impact both the environment and its workers. The drive for one-day and two-day shipping places immense burdens on ecosystems and human labor, revealing that Amazon's low prices come at a significant cost to people and the planet.

At UNFCCC COP25 on December 4, 2019, C2G and leading experts called for more urgent global discussions to address governance gaps in CO2 removal (CDR).

Thelma Krug, Vice-Chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), highlighted that all IPCC pathways limiting global warming to 1.5°C incorporate CDR. She stressed the critical need for robust governance frameworks for these technologies.

At UNFCCC COP25 on December 4, 2019, C2G and leading experts called for urgent global discussions to address governance gaps in CO2 removal.

Claire Fyson, a Research Analyst at Climate Analytics and co-author of "Governing Large-scale Carbon Dioxide Removal: Are We Ready?", highlighted specific governance challenges related to large-scale CO2 removal, using Bio-energy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) as an example.

At UNFCCC COP25 on December 4, 2019, C2G and leading experts urged greater urgency in global discussions to address governance gaps in CO2 removal. They emphasized the need for robust frameworks to manage large-scale carbon dioxide removal efforts.

Claire Fyson, a Research Analyst at Climate Analytics and co-author of "Governing Large-scale Carbon Dioxide Removal: Are We Ready?", specifically highlighted governance challenges associated with nature-based approaches to CO2 removal.

A video demonstrates the Rocky Mountain Institute’s Solar & Wind Off-site PPA Economic Calculator (SWOPEC). SWOPEC helps cities evaluate the economic implications of off-site versus other renewable projects early in procurement and compare different off-site PPA RFP bids later in the process.

Download SWOPEC at cityrenewables.org/tools-resources. The video further covers its purpose, how it works, a tool demonstration, and interpreting price forecasts and results.

The Western Ghats of India are home to 24 species of "dancing frogs" from the Micrixalidae family. These amphibians earned their name because males perform a unique foot-waving display, known as foot-flagging, to attract females during the breeding season.

This distinctive gesture likely compensates for their quiet croaks. Their calls are often too faint to compete with the surrounding environmental noise, making the visual foot-flagging crucial for successful mating.

The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Core Observatory, a joint mission by NASA and the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), provides the most detailed worldwide view of rain and snowfall. This satellite-based data is crucial for understanding Earth's freshwater systems.

GPM tracks precipitation from space, offering vital information on where, when, and how much it rains and snows globally. This insight is fundamental for studying our weather, climate, and ecological systems.

Ecoliteracy educator Cathy Fitzgerald advised jazz musician Carole Nelson on ecological knowledge for her acclaimed album 'Arboreal' (Irish Times, Feb 2020). This collaboration began as Cathy sought to share ecoliteracy with creatives amidst ecological breakdown.

Holding a PhD in creative practice, Cathy has extensive experience integrating ecological insights into her work. She previously directed ArtLinks and developed a mentoring program for creatives.

Cathy now offers individual mentoring, workshops, and an innovative online course on essential ecoliteracy for creatives and educators via her website: www.haumea.ie. Carole's album 'Arboreal' is on Spotify (after Feb 28, 2020) and CD Baby.

On December 7, 2019, C2G hosted a UNFCCC COP25 side event, led by Executive Director Janos Pasztor, to discuss governing emerging marine climate-altering techniques.

These techniques are being discussed within the Paris Agreement and the ocean's role. While none are ready at scale, they present significant technological and governance challenges requiring stakeholder attention.

The endangered Sonoyta mud turtle, an aquatic species, thrives in one of the Sonoran Desert's driest regions. This unique adaptation allows it to survive in extreme conditions.

Its habitat is severely restricted: a single spring on the U.S.-Mexico border within Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument in southern Arizona, and a small section of Mexico's Rio Sonoyta.
