*[Enwl-eng] Can fuel made from seaweed help us fight climate change?

[ecology]

                        We need to imagine new ways to fight climate change and break fossil fuel dependence.
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                        One Nation Is Getting Creative, Fighting Climate Change with a New Renewable Energy Solution: Seaweed

                        Rotting piles of seaweed are suffocating Caribbean beaches, harming marine life, destroying tourism economies, and releasing dangerous methane into the air.

                        But Grenada — a small island nation — is flipping the script. Instead of treating sargassum seaweed as waste, they're turning it into fuel, fertilizer, and hope.

                        Each year, climate change and pollution feed massive blooms of this slimy brown algae, choking coasts around the world, from West Africa to the Yucatán. As the seaweed rots, it releases hydrogen sulfide that damages lungs and methane that accelerates global warming. Local economies suffer. Fishermen are blocked from the water. Tourists stay away.



                        Governments spend millions clearing beaches with shovels and dump trucks, only to send the seaweed to overflowing landfills. But in Grenada, innovation is blooming instead! 



                        The island is investing in local companies that harvest sargassum before it hits the shore — and transform it into clean energy and natural fertilizer. One company, SarGas, uses bacteria to convert seaweed into biogas that fuels bakeries and could soon power homes — cutting dependence on diesel and slashing climate emissions.

                        Seaweed alone won't save the planet. But what Grenada is showing us is revolutionary: that the very forces of ecological crisis can be reimagined as tools of healing and survival — if we choose to act.

                        Sign now to urge governments of coastal nations around the world to support and replicate Grenada's groundbreaking efforts! They must prioritize using creative, local, renewable energy solutions to fight climate change!
