BRAVO DOLE!
Never thought I’d hear myself say that! I am so grateful to DOLE, who has committed to eliminate their MASSIVE amount of food waste by 2025. Some of the cool things they are developing: turning pineapple skins and banana leaves into packaging materials, making snacks from “unwanted” misshapen produce, eliminating plastic packaging, reaching net-zero carbon emissions, and processing excess food waste into bio-gas to power its processing plants. ALL THIS WITHIN FIVE YEARS!!!!

YAY!!!! PLEASE SPREAD THIS GREAT NEWS!!!

GREAT NEWS IN A NUTSHELL!

Bravo to the people of Mexico City!  Local patrons master-minded and are privately funding 1000 columns (15 ACRES!) on the busy thoroughfare now named The Greenway, which will amount to of Vertical Gardens/Living Walls.in the busiest part of the city.  The project features training in this important urban art form and worthy work for prisoners.

While there’s a note on the project’s cost vs planting new trees, I am a huge fan of Living Walls and I am very excited to see Mexico City’s brilliant efforts.  I love this!  The walls uptake carbon, emit oxygen, help calm, quiet, beautify, and uplift the street!

At this crossroads in time, we need to plant billions of trees and create Living Walls and Roofs everywhere we can. Read more…

And, please spread creative good news!

As we know, the great gift of Covid-19 has been a huge drop in toxic air pollution worldwide, most notably over China and India.  The clearing of the rivers and streams, the return of beautiful views and vistas is a healthy ecosystem boon for all species on Earth. 

Satellites can easily measure NOx (nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide combined) which is produced by fossil fuel burning.

Here’s an interactive Satellite map marking  the difference between a moment in time on January 20, 2020 and March 20, 2020.

GREAT NEWS IN A NUTSHELL! Health Care Workers are the heroes of the planet right now, and their voices will hopefully carry some weight as they urge leaders at the G20 to take heed of the blaring messages from the current situation with COVID-19.

“Leaders must learn from these mistakes and recover in a way that makes the world stronger, healthier and more resilient”, the health professionals say. Governments have the power to make this transformation in the next 12-18 months, depending on where and how they direct the trillions of dollars they are about to inject into the economy.

Bravo to Norway’s $1 trillion wealth fund, which just announced it’s dumping $3 billion in FOSSIL FUEL investments!!!  Norway’s fund is taking a leading role in responsible investment.  This includes some huge coal operations.  They also have bans on tobacco for ethical health reasons, and some arms restrictions tied to human rights and environmental issues.  This signals to the financial market that this is time for every sector of society to vote for a clean, healthy, livable future for all species for all time!  Read more here
