“Beware of feelings that aren’t based on facts” - a mantra I can get behind especially when applied to climate change & confronting the all too familiar overwhelming sense of despair that can come in this work. There’s room for optimism yet - theguardian.com/environment/… via @guardian

“The used plastic bottles best known for clogging the world’s oceans are in surprisingly short supply as consumer brands compete to meet recycling targets.” - wsj.com/articles/empty-plast…
Let’s be clear. There’s no shortage of plastic waste in the world.

Pretty wild to see people imply there's going to be a "next time" for climate legislation. I mean, sure, you can technically pass a climate bill whenever. 2100, even. But I think the nature of the problem has eluded you.

Great to see the conversation around recycled plastics shift beyond “Ocean Bound” to include the people responsible for stopping plastic from reaching the ocean.
Informal waste collectors are responsible for 60% of global recycling. We imagine a world where they have safe working conditions, inclusion, & dignified livelihoods. @nxtwaveplastics has released a #socialresponsibility framework for Ocean Bound Plastics: bit.ly/2Xv9nQa

I listened to this entire conversation about "the ethical questions around charitable giving" and NOT ONCE was there a mention of what vulnerable or struggling communities want or need from the philanthropic world. nyti.ms/3DeeX8A

Good morning from Les Cayes in Haiti! We just received 5,000 rolls from the bakery @WCKitchen built in our partner @PIH Zanmi Beni orphanage in Port-au-Prince…they will be served with our hot meals today! Now I am going to rural communities most hit by earthquake. #ChefsForHaiti

Meal delivery in La Creole, Les Cayes 🇭🇹 This community in southern Haiti was impacted by the 7.2 earthquake nearly a week ago. Many houses have sustained damage—some families have since been staying outside. We brought fresh meals with our partners @doWorkorg & @FirstMileImpact.
