关于我们
We are a privately funded nonprofit that aims to accelerate change and global impact by supporting science-based climate solutions, enhancing education, and improving health. ?? Our vision: A planet where all beings are ensured access to a sustainable and clean environment, health services and education Thoughts From Our Team: In the beginning we stayed up nights reading and analyzing data surrounding climate change. And what we learned was astounding. We knew we had to acquire more data by setting the research parameters and dictating the equations that would tell the story of climate change. So we began funding and supporting quantitative research projects through established programs. Today we now support 28 different programs, in the areas of climate, health and education. Our results are open source and available to anyone who wants to be more informed.

Renewable energy has broad bipartisan support, including in many conservative states that value its competitive costs and its power to energize economies, bringing prosperity and jobs. Adoption of clean alternatives continues to gain ground, especially in states like Florida, Texas, and California, cornered by high fossil fuel costs and with enormous potential to develop more affordable and healthier alternatives. At VoLo Foundation, we reaffirm our commitment. We will continue working for a transition to a sustainable energy system, with lasting jobs and resilient communities.?This climate crisis affects everyone, regardless of political preferences. Climate change demands responsibility and urgent action. Read more ?? https://lnkd.in/ewKg9vUp #Statement #VoLoFoundation #ClimateCrisis

??? Celebrating 10 Years of Climate Action ??? #TBT to our early days in 2018, when we launched the first Climate Correction? Conference at the University of Central Florida, marking the start of a new era in climate action. Inspired by the financial term “correction,” the conference was created to drive solutions, adaptations, and necessary adjustments in response to the climate crisis. Thanks to incredible collaboration with the City of Orlando and the dedication of leaders and scientists, Climate Correction has now become an annual tradition, reflecting VoLo Foundation’s essence and commitment. Here’s to many more years of action, learning, and change! ???? #DecadeOfAction #ClimateCorrection #VoLoFoundation ------ ???

??The world consumes around 80 billion new pieces of clothing annually, which is 400% more than the consumption level twenty years ago. The average American now generates 82 pounds of textile waste per year. The environmental impact of fast fashion includes the depletion of non-renewable resources, the emission of greenhouse gases, and the use of massive amounts of water and energy. The fashion industry is the second-largest consumer of water, requiring about 700 gallons to produce one cotton shirt and 2,000 gallons to produce a pair of jeans. ------ ??El mundo consume alrededor de 80 mil millones de nuevas prendas de ropa cada a?o, un 400% más que el consumo hace veinte a?os. El estadounidense promedio genera ahora 82 libras de desechos textiles cada a?o. El impacto ambiental de la moda rápida incluye el agotamiento de recursos no renovables, la emisión de gases de efecto invernadero y el uso de grandes cantidades de agua y energía. La industria de la moda es la segunda mayor consumidora de agua, requiriendo alrededor de 700 galones para producir una camiseta de algodón y 2,000 galones de agua para producir un par de jeans."

?? Every day, more than 24 million students rely on school buses to get to and from their educational institutions. But did you know over 90% of these vehicles run on diesel, a harmful fossil fuel? ?? Diesel exhaust releases over 40 toxic air contaminants, worsening air quality, especially for children. It impacts their health, causing respiratory issues and even affecting academic performance. ?? School buses also contribute to climate change, emitting 8.4 million metric tons of carbon pollution annually. It's time for cleaner, safer alternatives. Let’s push for electric school buses to protect our kids and our planet! ?? Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gnctHRed ----- ??
