🔋 Good news: For the first time on record, most new cars sold worldwide are no longer gasoline-only. And 94% of EV owners surveyed say they’ll never go back!

🍎 Inspiration: Ellenor Llona teaches chemistry in rural Indiana, where she's weaving climate science into her lessons - because students need to know what's happening, why it matters, and what we can do about it.

You don't have to be a teacher like Ellenor to be a life-long learner!
