A new study found that a single bison herd can help store the CO2 equivalent of 2 million cars
The world's soil, oceans, and forests are the biggest known carbon sinks, and scientists have long acknowledged the role that they play in slowing the effects of climate change.
But a new study shows how instrumental animals could be in tamping down on carbon emissions, too.
The study, backed by the Global Rewilding Alliance, calculated that a herd of 170 European bison — roaming on 30 square miles of grasslands — captured the yearly equivalent of carbon dioxide emissions from 1.88 million cars.

A significant milestone in the clean energy transition, the U.S. just surpassed 5 million solar panel installations
According to new data, the U.S. has officially surpassed 5 million solar installations across the country — 4 million of them were installed in the last eight years.
Prior to that, it took four decades for the U.S. to cross the 1 million installation mark in 2016, with the first grid-connected solar project installed in 1973.
The data accounts for home, business, and utility-scale solar installations, with homes making up 97% of the total installed.
And this good progress is showing no signs of slowing down: the number of installations is projected to double to 10 million by 2030, and triple to 15 million by 2034.
Did you know that our brains are evolutionarily hardwired with an internal negativity bias? As neuropsychologist Dr. Rick Hanson describes it, "Bad news sticks to the brain like velcro, and good news slides right off the brain like Teflon."
Our brains are not naturally very good at seeking (or remembering!) the good. So, especially as people looking to make the world a better place, it's so important to be intentional about consuming good news.
We have to actively seek it out, slow down while reading it to help it "stick," and share it with others to help hope spread even further.
