                        Reversing climate change, cleaning up oil spills: mushrooms could help solve our problems.
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                        Mushrooms Can Help Solve the Climate Crisis. Why Are They Not Being Researched?

                        The United States government has known for decades that greenhouse gas emissions cause global warming, yet the country's emissions have increased regardless. Now data shows that the past 7 years have been the hottest ever recorded on planet Earth. In fact, according to a recent report, the Earth's global average temperature is 73% of the way to the horrific 1.5 degree threshold that scientists warn we must stay under at all costs. And there is one powerful player not being utilized in the fight against climate change: the mighty mushroom.



                        Mycelium — a component of fungi — provides an easy, risk-free way to reduce many of our worst environmental impacts. Researchers are finding that mushrooms and mycelium may be useful in various eco-improving projects, including cleaning up oil spills, reducing pollution, and potentially even reversing climate change. Mycelium stores carbon in the soil, meaning it has the potential to be a crucial natural way to capture carbon from the air and sequester it away underground. Because we as a species have already emitted so much greenhouse gas, investing in such potent carbon sinks is critical. Why are leaders not sufficiently exploring this simple path to fighting climate change and saving lives? Sign the petition to demand that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency take every measure possible to address the looming climate crisis, including by investing in mushroom research for carbon sinks and pollution cleanup!

                        P.S. There is no reason not to invest in research that has the potential to help save millions of lives — human, animal, and more — from climate disaster. Sign the petition.
