As California reopens, ESSER III funds can provide a much needed boost to California schools, allowing them to return to in-person learning safely. Below, a look at what ESSER III funds are, and how they can be used.
What are ESSER III funds?

2020 was a great year for electric vehicles (EVs). Around 3.24 million EVs were sold world-wide. In the US, we had gains in the number of vehicles sold, but we still only account for slightly more than 2% of total EV sales in the last year. In fact, most of the world’s 2020 EV sales were in Europe and China…
Europe and China are doing it… So can we, with California leading the way with smart incentives and scaled up EV Charge infrastructure.

As the 2020-2021 school year comes to a close, there is more focus than ever on reopening our schools safely. It’s been a long year of online learning, Zoom classes, of juggling the needs of our students with the safety of our teachers, and for many, it’s been one year too long. But it looks as if the age of Zoom may be winding down, at least in California.

Many kids are attending public schools this spring with the use of COVID-19 safety protocols, including more desk spacing, more frequent cleaning and mandates to wear masks.
But far too many of the school buildings themselves remain dilapidated, toxic and in desperate need of structural improvements. Help may finally be on the way.

Protecting forests is an essential strategy in the fight against climate change that has not received the attention it deserves. Trees capture and store massive amounts of carbon. And unlike some strategies for cooling the climate, they don’t require costly and complicated technology.

Yet although tree-planting initiatives are popular, protecting and restoring existing forests rarely attracts the same level of support. As an example, forest protection was notably missing from the US$447 million Energy Act of 2020, which the U.S. Congress passed in December 2020 to jump-start technological carbon capture and storage.
