Welcome to EARTHDAY.ORG’s Climate Curiosities, your semimonthly updates to the year-round Earth Day movement. Backed by research, our articles work to inform and illuminate on the issues you care about. This week, we drive electric — but are we really sustainable? The answer is complex. How protected are our essential workers in this extreme heat? Also, education is the key to climate communication. #climatechange #climatecuriosities #newsletter #joinus #climateeducation #earthday #electricvehicles #globalwarming

Can we protect our essential workers from intensifying heat? Plus, is driving electric truly making us greener?

I do find it a missed opportunity that in the article Driving Electric, no attempt has been made to portray the total ecological footprint of electric cars, including the aspect that is not highlighted: the working conditions of the people who extract earth metals to produce supposedly sustainable devices like wind turbines, solar cells and batteries. In the end, the conclusion should be that there is only one way of sustainable transport: no transport.
