The Greenhouse team takes a road trip, exploring the best ideas from Europe to reduce our carbon footprint and fight climate change. We look at low-carbon energy sources, public transportation, and efficient use of space. Many ideas to reduce fossil fuel emissions are already in practice in Europe, and we can borrow these strategies and adapt them to our needs in the US. We explore large and small projects, from high-speed trains to energy-efficient kitchens. Join us to learn more about the benefits of urban green space, bike-friendly cities, electric vehicles and effective mass transit. Allez!
