Materials used for the 2024 NFL Draft are being repurposed to build a dog rescue shelter in Detroit

Turf, fencing, set pieces, and other materials used for the 2024 NFL Draft, hosted in Detroit, are being donated to local nonprofit organizations — including a local animal shelter, Detroit Dog Rescue.

Stage materials from the draft will be repurposed to help build the dog rescue’s free and low-cost spay and neuter clinic at an existing building, as well as its backyard and “decompression” spaces for dogs.

The city said there was an entire sustainability plan in place between the NFL and the city to reduce waste and repurpose materials from the event, which moves locations each year.

Researchers made the first discovery of endangered blue whales near Seychelles in decades. Whalers illegally killed 500 blue whales in the area between 1963 and 1966, so researchers did not expect to see any during their expedition.

Good Progress To Celebrate

If the current rate of clean technology adoption continues, global greenhouse gas emissions will have already peaked in 2023

An analysis of several recent studies looking at clean energy adoption and greenhouse gas emissions shows that if the current, accelerated rates of growth continue — the worst of our impact on the planet could officially be behind us.

Authors of one study wrote that there’s “a 70% chance that emissions start falling in 2024 if current clean technology growth trends continue and some progress is made to cut non-CO2 emissions.”

Their most ambitious projection put emissions peaking in 2023 and then on “a long, sustained decline.” And those findings, while a “rare” piece of good news in the climate space (unless you’re an avid Good Good Good reader), align with similar studies.

The world has also potentially reached a climate “tipping point” — even if the current pace doesn’t continue, emissions are projected to plateau by the end of the decade before eventually beginning to decline.

While we still have work to do to reach key emissions reduction targets by 2030 and 2050 — this news should encourage all of us to continue taking climate action — individually, and collectively. We have what we need to reach those targets.
