2️⃣ In 2019, energy suppliers produced about 34% of all human-driven emissions worldwide, according to the IPCC report.

3️⃣ Nearly one-fifth of all the energy sector's emissions are methane — a powerful gas with 30 times the heat-trapping potential of carbon dioxide.
💨 A drop in methane emissions can help rapidly reduce the speed of #GlobalWarming.

4️⃣ Landfills are the third-largest source of methane emissions in the US, and food waste is the largest category of garbage.

5️⃣ Trees thrive by absorbing carbon dioxide from the air and storing it in their tissues — a powerful tool to fight the climate crisis.
