Affiliate Disclosure

Hey fellow impactful ninja ?

You may have noticed that Impactful Ninja is all about providing helpful information to make a positive impact on the world and society. And that we love to link back to where we found all the information for each of our posts.

  • Most of these links are informational-based for you to check out their primary sources with one click.

  • But some of these links are so-called "affiliate links" to products that we recommend.

Why do we add these product links?

First and foremost, because we believe that they add value to you. For example, when we wrote a post about the environmental impact of long showers, we came across an EPA recommendation to use WaterSense showerheads. So we linked to where you can find them. Or, for many of our posts, we also link to our favorite books on that topic so that you can get a much more holistic overview than one single blog post could provide.

And when there is an affiliate program for these products, we sign up for it. For example, as Amazon Associates, we earn from qualifying purchases.

What do these affiliate links mean for you?
  1. First, and most importantly, we still only recommend products that we believe add value for you.

  2. When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission - but at no additional costs to you.

  3. And when you buy something through a link that is not an affiliate link, we won’t receive any commission but we’ll still be happy to have helped you.

What do these affiliate links mean for us?
  1. When we find products that we believe add value to you and the seller has an affiliate program, we sign up for it.

  2. When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission (at no extra costs to you).

  3. And at this point in time, all money is reinvested in sharing the most helpful content with you. This includes all operating costs for running this site and the content creation itself.

What does this mean for me personally?

You may have noticed by the way Impactful Ninja is operated that money is not the driving factor behind it. It is a passion project of mine and I love to share helpful information with you to make a positive impact on the world and society. However, it's a project in that I invest a lot of time and also quite some money.

Eventually, my dream is to one day turn this passion project into my full-time job and provide even more helpful information. But that's still a long time to go.

1️⃣ The big picture: New York has approved a $1 billion investment in an underwater natural gas pipeline that will run 37 miles beneath the seafloor. The Northeast Supply Enhancement project aims to transfer energy from Pennsylvania to New Jersey and ultimately power 2.3 million homes. This decision has sparked debate between economic and environmental interests, with supporters highlighting job creation and energy access benefits. Critics, including Senator Liz Krueger, have condemned the project as an environmental setback that contradicts previous clean energy commitments.

2️⃣ Why is this good news: The natural gas pipeline project is expected to generate approximately $1.8 billion in economic activity and create numerous jobs, particularly during construction. This infrastructure will help address skyrocketing natural gas prices by increasing supply and making gas more accessible to consumers. The project includes plans to limit ecological impact while ensuring reliable gas supply, especially crucial during winter months. By diversifying energy sources, the initiative helps maintain energy security while potentially benefiting both human needs and environmental considerations if executed properly.

3️⃣ What’s next: Construction of the 37-mile underwater pipeline will commence following the approval from both New York and New Jersey. Implementing the ecological impact limitation plans included in the project proposal remains a critical priority. Authorities must balance meeting immediate energy needs while continuing to develop renewable alternatives for long-term sustainability.
