Introducing Jumping into Solutions: A New YouTube Channel

By Hari Lamba

Jumping into Solutions is a series of short, entertaining, and informative video segments covering a wide variety of topics related to tackling climate change. We focus on engaging viewers with solutions that are available today, apply to both homes and businesses, consider transportation needs, and improve the local environment. Our goal is to make these solutions easy to understand so you can apply them to your life, improving your quality of life and saving money along the way!

Through interviews with experts and live, in-the-field footage of new technologies at work, we aim to answer practical questions like: How do new technologies work? How quickly should I expect to recoup my costs? How will I be impacted by climate-related changes in the law? Are there any rebates or other incentives available for me?    

Some topics we’ve covered so far include heat pumps (a type of thermodynamic and energy-efficient water heater) and reducing methane gas from landfills. We’re expecting to dive even deeper, taking a look at solar panels, electric cars and bicycles, rainwater capture, and even local policy. We invite you to jump in with us! 

Check out the channel at youtube.com/@jumpingintosolutions, also available in podcast form on Spotify, Google, Apple, and iHeart Radio. For more information and inquiries, feel free to send an email to jumpingintosolutions@gmail.com.
