A US university has a new requirement to graduate: take a climate change course

Real estate is worth 35-45% more in walkable areas. Walkable cities are 10-20x cheaper to build, power, and maintain than drivable suburbs. Walkable streets generate 20% of US GDP by encouraging spending on local businesses. So why aren’t we investing more in walkability?

Thank you to @klundster and @Adweek for a well-researched and well-written piece about sustainable brands and carbon accounting! Read it here: https://t.co/ra7dLahcIv

Want to find trusted, sustainable brands? We can help with that.

I'm curious - in the current market environment, are companies still prioritizing operational sustainability? If you're an employer / founder, which of these are you doing? If you're an employee, which of these are your companies doing?

Our lawns aren't just part of our habitat, they can create and foster entire ecosystems. Bugs, birds, and other creatures are signs of biodiversity.

When we keep an item of clothing in circulation for as long as possible, we lower the emission per wear, send less to landfills, and save money.

Every day we're on Earth is Earth Day 🌎 How many climate actions did you check off the list? Which ones are on your to-do list?

Folks using Commons celebrate Earth Day every day, and we have the data to prove it. Check out our Commons Community Impact Report for 2022. https://t.co/wusyxu0Y56

Our daily spending choices can shape systems and lower global emissions. Check out "Why Cutting Your Personal Carbon Footprint Matters" by @semafor and @timmcdonnell, featuring newly released Commons' community data. https://t.co/CsykIVktA1

Tapping into our carbon consciousness is all about improving our understanding and recognition of how we use carbon, and bringing our consumption back in balance with the planet.

“The Earth has been composting and decomposting organic materials for millions of year before us, and it'll continue to do so after us.” - Jonny Fajardo of Compton Community Garden, Commons Advisor.

Compost is Earth's gold - a precious resource that enriches our #soil for a more sustainable future. By diverting food scraps from landfills and turning them into nutrient-rich compost, we can reduce emissions and promote a healthier planet for generations to come.

Did you know that 11% of global methane emissions come from landfill waste? We can turn our food scraps into a climate change solution by #composting to reduce emissions and boost soil health ♻️
