The Global Catholic Carbon Footprint was 1.25 Gigatons in 2015. Catholics going net zero would have comparable effects to Germany and Brazil reducing COâ‚‚ emissions to zero. 2 years since we launched the Global Catholic COâ‚‚ Footprint at #UNGA Demand #ClimateActionNow

So Incredibly Inspiring. .@Good_Lands could consider city governments at some point. Few have mapped the (often considerable) land and assets they own or control.
Such a fabulous piece in @NewYorker about social entrepreneur Molly Burhans and her journey from landscape design to using data through @Good_Lands to put the vast (uncatalogued!) Catholic landholdings to better environmental use. newyorker.com/magazine/2021/…
