My data viz & The Guardian's adaptation for their story on CCI's analysis of the emissions implications of Trump's increase in Pentagon spending (ie 178 megatons of GHGs, more than all of Ethiopia's). Cool to see their design choices.

Imagine being Hasret Icsen. You pay $1,015/month for a 3-bedroom apartment in a green, mixed-income building full of amenities. When you touch your home, you're touching climate progress. This is Vienna's green social housing. As @NPR explains, we could do it here

Most of Vienna's renters live in affordable, climate resilient social housing, and people love it. This is green economic populism in action, and a model to replicate. This great

New from my team: for the same volume of energy transition minerals it would take to make all of the Pentagon's non-combat vehicles into EVs, we could electrify the entire Postal Service, the entire Parks Service, and put battery backup on more than 7600 federal buildings. đź§µ
