A new report found that renewables will officially surpass coal in energy production next year
Due to an increase in heatwaves around the world, the International Energy Agency’s new report predicts electricity demand will see record-high growth rates.
Not only are renewables tasked with replacing fossil fuels — they’re also needed to meet that rise in electricity demand. And they’re up to the task: the IEA predicts the amount generated by renewable energy sources will increase from 30% in 2023 to 35% in 2025.

Jitter-free, just like mornings should be
You deserve a moment of luxury in every day. That’s what Leaves of Leisure hopes to provide. With herbal and low-caffeine teas, this woman-owned tea company was designed to give the gift of daily joy and peace.
All tea blends are based on leisure activities to help transport you to your happy place, evoking the same energy you feel on the weekend or vacation.
In fact, Leaves of Leisure was founded when owner Allie began experiencing severe anxiety and struggled to quit her coffee addiction. When she couldn’t find herbal teas that were beautiful and exciting for everyday use, she made them herself.
All blends are packaged in biodegradable tea bags and all-paper packaging and are perfect hot or iced year-round. You can even incorporate them into your favorite cocktails or mocktails this summer! The best part? You won’t find any added sugar or caffeine — just all the flavor with none of the jitters.
One in five cars sold this year will be battery-powered — with a record 17 million total sold
Electric vehicles are breaking sales records all over the world. According to new estimates, 17 million new fully electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles will be sold this year — up from 13.7 million last year.
China still leads the world in EV sales, with over 10 million fully electric and plug-in electric vehicles expected to be sold this year alone. Estimates show that battery-powered vehicles could make up 45% of total car sales in the country.
Globally, over one-fifth of vehicles sold will be fully electric or plug-in hybrid this year — in 2018, it was around 2%. And companies are taking notice by ramping up production of EVs.
While we still have a long way to go to enjoy the environmental (and health) benefits of a world filled with electric vehicles, this is incredible progress to celebrate — and continue.
