EPA EJ Screen Environmental Justice
Higher Wire Inc. is revolutionizing the way the world views and uses sustainable power. We specialize in designing and manufacturing lithium batteries at our facility in Tempe, AZ, using domestically-sourced components. We're also solving environmental and supply-chain concerns by creating innovative technologies that make energy storage and generation more cost-effective and accessible, such as our patent-pending process that gives new life to old batteries. Those which meet our strict grading criteria are repurposed into other forms of energy storage, which requires less energy and generates no chemical waste as compared to end-of-life recycling.

IREC Report: Building a Clean Energy Workforce
A diverse stakeholder coalition is calling for increased investment in workforce development and greater coordination among local, regional, and national entities to support the growth of high-quality job opportunities in the clean energy industries, with a focus on the inclusion of diverse and underrepresented populations.
These recommendations are laid out in a report released today on behalf of the National Clean Energy Workforce Alliance, a forum uniting more than 500 stakeholders across the U.S. to improve recruitment, education, and placement outcomes with a focus on energy justice. The Alliance is led by the Interstate Renewable Energy Council (IREC) and the National Council for Workforce Education (NCWE) with support from Bank of America.

Solar Energy Dome - Produces Electricity and Food
Access to safe drinking water is a human right, however it depends on where you live. Here in the richest most powerful, advanced nation...there is a lack of access to water on Indian Country. Here on Navajo, many have distant locations where they draw water from wells built over a half a century.
On Navajo COVID 19 has affected and infected more than any other country per capita. One of the major contributors is the lack of access to water.
To address this issue, PFAL has partnered with key Emergency Response Experts to provide Navajo communities the components for assembling home water filtration systems for families who lack running water to their homes.
Food Security/Sovereignty
Solar Energy Dome - Produces Electricity and Food
Food Security/Sovereignty
Food Security begins with family and community gardens. In this day in-age, we cannot afford not to begin growing our own food. Traditionally this nation has been self-sufficient in producing healthy food. This is no longer the case,
Consider, Monsanto is the largest producer of genetically engineered (GE) seeds on the planet, accounting for over 90% of the GE seeds planted globally in 2003.
And God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.”
