Guess what! I'm an EIC (again), this time at @1fivec. Smash that "subscribe" button to follow our journey to a more climate-conscious existence. Lots of cool shit to come from me, @joemfbrown, and a growing cast of planet-loving characters. https://t.co/IqYDFBsm0W

“Inadvertent greenwash happens a lot now,” says @BenFranta (...). “The people who create the messaging may not fully understand that they’re doing something misleading.” That means you need to be extra aware. via @1fivec https://t.co/bFHNKYewKN

one5c is taking a break from Twitter. (Not that we were very active in the first place.) The best place to learn about what you can do to preserve or renew the planet is on @SubstackInc

“Thirty-seven percent of #foodwaste takes place on the consumer level,” says Minnie Ringland, Climate Analyst at ReFED. “This is one area where an individual can make a big difference,” she says. Thanks to Joe Brown of @1fivec for this new Guest Blog. https://t.co/VpPfYSL1EN

Food waste is low-hanging fruit, comprising 4 percent of all U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. Here are some legitimately easy ways to cut down on food waste.

“You can’t take a truck full of old phones, melt them down, and make new ones,” says @iFixit's @kwiens. The circular economy is a round fiction when it comes to smartphones. Keeping gear longer and fixing it when it breaks are the only sustainable moves.

This story from @billmckibben reiterates something we've been talking about for months. (He's been talking about it longer.) If you keep your money in a Wall St. bank, you're funding Big Oil. Give it a read, the numbers are staggering.

[5/6] Some good news: This is an easy win. If we can cut U.S. food waste by half, we keep more than 100 million tons of GHG out of the atmosphere. Today’s newsletter is about shopping to reduce waste. Check it out:

[4/6] One solution is to compost, sure. But throwing out less in the first place is a better look, and creates larger greenhouse gas savings—because if you use less food, you’re using less of the water, land, human effort, and diesel fuel required to produce it.

[3/6] You might think this is a grocery store or a restaurant problem—and it is. Combined, they produce 22 million tons of food waste annually. (10M retail, 12M food service.) But residential is WAY more: 30 million tons. We waste 400lbs per person per year. (!!)

[2/6] Food waste also accounts for 24% of American landfills (weight). Once it’s in there, it doesn’t just turn into dirt. Because landfills are anaerobic environments, the microorganisms that feed off that wasted food emit methane. Lots of it. cc @refed

Food waste accounts for 4% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, which is more than 200 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent pumped into the atmosphere. [thread 1/6]
