"Climate is a top-shelf political concern because it has been pushed there by those who care most; it is now on the verge of being addressed, at scale, because that push appears to have worked."
—David Wallace-Wells, The New York Times
|
As summer draws to a close, we cheer the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, truly meaningful legislation that tackles climate at a scale proportional to the moment. It is the product of a refusal to give up. May we all take that determination into fall.

One Small Step for You
|
One giant leap for planetkind
|
Recycled TP
Before you freak out: When we talk about recycled toilet paper, we don’t mean used toilet paper being repurposed. Buying (and using!) TP made from 100% post-consumer recycled paper can help preserve Canada’s boreal forest, which is the most carbon-dense terrestrial ecosystem in the world. Don’t twitch: Make the switch. It’s a simple thing with a big impact, just the kind of eco-action we love!

Order recycled TP at Who Gives a Crap.

MR FIX-IT: Get more life out of your stuff
|
 |
|
|
We complained to our friend Mr. Fix-it that our dang faucet won’t stop dripping, wasting water and driving us nuts. “An easy fix,” he
insisted. And soon enough, he dripped, errr, dropped this video. A leaky faucet can waste more than 3,000 gallons a year so it's a good time to tackle those taps.

Genusee Sunglasses
Flint, Michigan had a water problem, and soon enough, millions of empty water bottles. So Ali Rose VanOverbeke decided to make sunglasses out of discarded plastic bottles. It's a solution to the excess plastic that's, dare we say, made in the shade.

VEJA Sneakers
Simone, a member of the Bluedot family, wears VEJA sneakers almost exclusively. It’s no mystery: organic cotton, recycled materials, fair labor and, as you can see, they look good with anything.
