  • On Jimmy Carter's Inauguration Day in 1977, the new president made a deliberate environmental statement: He used a public-facing array of solar panels to heat his lectern. He would later install water-boiling solar connections on the White House roof to be used year-round too.

The article from Slate discusses the enduring environmental legacy of former President Jimmy Carter, especially in light of his recent hospice care announcement. Despite his health challenges, Carter's contributions to environmental policy and climate change initiatives are highlighted as significant and long-lasting. The piece details how Carter, during his presidency, established the Department of Energy and pushed for energy conservation and renewable energy sources, setting a precedent for future environmental policies. Post-presidency, Carter continued his advocacy through his work with the Carter Center, focusing on sustainable development and global health issues that intersect with environmental concerns. The article reflects on how his efforts, though sometimes overshadowed by other aspects of his presidency, have had a profound impact on America's approach to environmental issues, emphasizing his foresight in recognizing the importance of addressing climate change long before it became a mainstream concern.
