It seems EV raffles have gotten more and more popular. One of the original leaders in this space, the Chesapeake Climate Action Network (CCAN) Action Fund, has been running one for 7 years, and it has grown it to a bigger and bigger level. This year’s raffle offers a first-place … [continued]
Carbon accounting is one of the most important but least understood aspects of the discussion about cross laminated timber.
