On this #IndependenceDay, we celebrate the pioneering spirit of the United States in advancing sustainability, from early scientific discoveries to innovative technologies. 🌍 Greenhouse Effect Concept: American geographer Thomas Trewartha coined the term in 1937, a crucial step in understanding climate change. 💡 First low-energy lightbulb: In 1938, George Inman and General Electric's scientists designed the first viable compact fluorescent lamp, paving the way for energy-efficient lighting. 🔆 First practical solar panels: a significant leap in renewable energy, they were developed by Bell Labs in 1954. As we honor these achievements, may we look forward to a future powered by innovation and sustainability!
