#DrawdownsNeighborhood

Industry helps power our economy, yet it creates massive amounts of waste. In fact, the creation and disposal of products and goods account for 21% of all heat-trapping emissions. How can we ensure that the energy, water, and other valuable resources used to manufacture products for consumption are not also contributing to the amount of waste we generate? Kendrick Kelsey, a Reuse Center Associate at Lifecycle Building Center, is working to keep products, like building materials, circulating back into the economy in ways that benefit people who can meaningfully make use of old materials and make them new by reclaiming waste as a resource. Lifecycle Building Center is helping to draw down emissions by capturing building materials from the waste stream and directing them back into the community through reuse.

Do you want to discover your role in stopping catastrophic climate change? Drawdown’s Neighborhood, presented by Project Drawdown, is a series of short documentaries featuring the stories of climate solutions heroes, city-by-city.

Join host and Project Drawdown storyteller Matt Scott on a journey to “pass the mic” to climate heroes whose stories often go unheard, and elevate climate action in the process. Drawdown’s Neighborhood showcases the diverse community of people working to help the world reach drawdown, the future point when levels of greenhouse gasses start to steadily decline. Each story in the Drawdown’s Neighborhood series serves as a bridge between climate solutions and people like you who are looking to tap into their own superpowers to stop climate change. Hear their voices, learn about their “green careers,” and be inspired about the many ways that you too can utilize your unique gifts and talents to accelerate climate solutions and be part of shaping a better world and just future for all.

Out latest series features the city of Atlanta, known as the heart of the U.S. civil rights movement, which is located on the unceded ancestral land of the Mississippian, Creek and Cherokee Nations. Drawdown’s Neighborhood: Atlanta features nine stories from a city with a deep history in leadership, entrepreneurship, and activism. In response to the impacts of climate change, diverse collaborations across Atlanta are building momentum to draw down emissions and create a healthy, just, and vibrant future.
