@RishiSunak this one is dedicated to you. You are on the wrong side of history, and your daughters will grow up to be so ashamed of you (if they aren't already). https://t.co/05KgTgYs0U

The linear economy relies on creating value by depleting finite resources & cannot work in the long term. In this article for @latimes, our North America Programs Lead @ashsukhdev explains why we need EPR for a #circulareconomy that keeps materials in use:

To solve the problem of plastic packaging waste and pollution, businesses should aim to eliminate packaging where it’s not needed.

I become so much more emotionally invested in, and attuned to, a song when I discover it through @SongExploder. "Follow You" has now been on repeat for the last 24 hours. Thanks again @HrishiHirway, and @DanReynolds, for your gifts to this world.
.@DanReynolds of @Imaginedragons was separated from his wife for months, in preparation for their divorce. But then, they called it off, and in the immediate aftermath, he wrote “Follow You.” He tells the story and takes the song apart in this episode: https://t.co/sZycCWsEYI

This is our chance to develop a circular economy: a system in which every product, building, vehicle, thing is designed to have a long and useful afterlife.

This conversation is critical as countries set increasingly ambitious #climate commitments. It's going to take more than an energy transition to meet them - it's time to change the way we make and build products and infrastructure! #COP26
When we think about buildings and climate change, we usually think about heating and electricity. But did you know that cement manufacturing is responsible for a staggering 8% of global CO2 emissions? It’s time to change the way we build. Learn more at:

Discovered @priyaparker and her deeply meaningful + highly practical work on the #ArtofGathering last year, in a year defined by 'un-gathering'. She delivered a keynote at #SXSW this year and it is a gem. Also, major #CoupleGoals @AnandWrites!
