April Site Picks: Sustainability

Earth Day was last week, which is always a good time to evaluate how we interact with our planet. The team at Pantheon try to do our part daily. We either bike, walk, or take public transit to get to & from work. We shop at our local farmer's markets. Maybe we will brew our own beer? That is why this month we are looking at organizations that focus on advancing sustainability, raising awareness of energy issues, and prompting a more balanced ecosystem.

First up, The Oregon Zoo, where they work with partners to restore populations of imperiled native species ranging from quarter-sized butterflies to the California condor. They help boost the fight against extinction, resolving human-wildlife conflict and protecting habitats.

The Critical Materials Institute focuses on technologies that make better use of materials and eliminate the need for materials that are subject to supply disruptions. These critical materials are essential for American competitiveness in modern clean energy technologies, including wind turbines, solar panels, electric vehicles, and energy-efficient lighting.
