Indiana and 44 other states have released their initial plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions with the help of a federal grant. Climate advocates say there's a lot to love in Indiana's plan, but the Indiana Department of Environmental Management is likely underestimating what the state can achieve.

Some of the projects the Indiana Department of Environmental Management is considering include ways to expand clean energy, improve energy efficiency, increase electric vehicle use, expand access to public transit, and reduce food waste.

Most of the decline comes from coal plants closing. Power plants in Indiana contribute more than half of all greenhouse gas emissions in the state; a quarter comes from steelmakers like U.S. Steel and Cleveland Cliffs.

Unpredictable temperatures are viewed as typical Indiana weather. But one organization studies how climate and other seasonal changes affect Hoosier farmers, businesses, and marginalized communities.

The Environmental Protection Agency hopes states like Indiana will use new greenhouse gas inventory tools to reduce their emissions.

The Baker-Shultz Carbon Dividends Plan proposes taxing companies that emit greenhouse gases and returning that money to U.S. households.

It could get easier for landowners who do climate-friendly practices to get some extra cash under a new state Senate bill.

According to researchers, 20 hours of video streaming is roughly equivalent to the carbon output of a gallon of gasoline.

Carbon offsets are a way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by allowing businesses and other entities that pollute to buy credits from people doing climate-friendly practices.

For the past few months, Indiana University students have been helping 14 cities in the state to do greenhouse gas inventories.
