I've noticed at least some parts of the #Minneapolis skyway system and second-floor businesses to be very good (500s) and at least one new Aldi to be shockingly bad (4000s).
As a way to try to get places to improve, as much as to help people make individual decisions, do you know of any community-sourced mapping-of-CO₂ concentrations out there?
I am big on credit unions and not big on under-regulated venture-capital-backed app-based banks, but i have an unexpected 20,133 gems in #Duolingo after not using it for a couple years so if they opened an online-only bank i would have to consider their savings account options.
We are working on a communication network that makes it easier for what matters to reach people— where all of us in the network participate on an equal basis in the work of filtering out the noise, so our voices are heard.
This is a 'common sense' thing that given our own media and a couple not-too-corrupt politicians would have a ton of legs.
Like i've met people up by the boundary waters who are pretty conservative and feel they need more mining industry to keep their remaining hospitals and schools open, but also like nature to survive and the tourist economy it brings, who propose themselves that hundreds of millions of dollars be put in escrow for immediate cleanup of a tailings pond spill.
Of course at any cost commensurate to the risk such an escrow account requirement would kill all these projects.
But if there were a "big government" commitment to keeping hospitals and colleges open people probably would not miss the environment-destroying industries…
Doing your own WordPress (or Drupal or…) subscription setup, with an easy e-mail address entry box and call-to-action, should work as well as anything. For blog-specifically there's Ghost and Bear Blog https://bearblog.dev/ (and others, but those i know have e-mail subscription).
Your best bet, though, is likely WriteFreely, https://writefreely.org/ – allows subscribing by e-mail *or* the fediverse (which Drupal and i think WordPress can do too but that takes work).
@gbhnews@jsit also setting up your own instance of Mastodon or other software on the fediverse is pretty easy. For one client @agaric is doing this two ways: One where "News Org dot Social" engages like you are now (and also, not so needed, invites the public) and another where the news org at its main domain publishes full articles directly. This could be done on the same domain with some technical differences, or easily on a main domain and a subdomain (social.wgbh.org or social.npr.org).

You don't have to be absurdly into cooperatives like us to want collective control over your important online home. Make your spot on the #fediverse a co-op like us: https://wiki.social.coop/home.html
