Working much too hard to find our next meal, we're also learning about #innovation focused on growing our own right here in NYC. @NYUSternCSB #InvestNYCSDG #resilience @aerofarms @gothamgreens @BoweryFarming @AVerticalFarm @agritecture @GreenWaveOrg stern.nyu.edu/experience-ste…
BP withdraws from industry groups, citing climate disagreements ... a step in the right direction. thehill.com/policy/energy-en…

Building a new, #sustainable #economy: we know what to do; we just have to do it. #InvestNYCSDG @NYUSternCSB @TensieWhelan
$10B from @JeffBezos to fight #climatechange by funding “scientists, activists, NGOs,” but the most immediate investment need is for businesses that are ready to begin building a new #sustainableeconomy today. Read the latest from our #InvestNYCSDG team: stern.nyu.edu/experience-ste…
This is... remarkable. Just the fact that a global media company will now be talking about the power and importance of @BCorporation certification will re-center the argument towards sustainable business practices. Huge hat-top to @guardian!

You may have missed these news, with all the other stuff happening in the world of #climatechange, but #Indonesia is MOVING ITS CAPITAL due to rising seas. Parts of Jakarta could be entirely submerged by 2050, so in just 30 years... 😯

“A legion of thoughtful persons recognizes that traditional #capitalism must continually undergo change if our great national wealth is to be more equitably distributed, but they are afraid their criticisms will make them seem in-American.” (Martin Luther King, Jr., 1963)

How can the world nutritiously feed nearly 10 billion people by 2050, in a way that supports rural development and tackles #climatechange? New WRI research lays out a road map for how to realize the potential of reducing food loss and waste. Read more: bit.ly/2OqU9CW

How FedEx Cut Its Tax Bill to $0. They said tax savings would fund capital investment. Truth: “companies that received the biggest tax cuts increased their capital investment by less, on average, than companies that got smaller cuts.” nyti.ms/2Oqc790
#sustainable #business: @DanielLubetzky of @KINDSnacks to @NYUStern business students:
“in the future, a holistic sense of your role in the community will be table stakes for business.” @NYUSternCSB
Sounds like a perverse version of trickle-down economics...
On the anniversary of the #CampFire it's worth noting that California insurers have dropped coverage for nearly 350,000 rural homeowners while fueling climate change through their investments & insurance of fossil fuels. insureourfuture.us/updates/2… #ParadiseStrong #ButteStrong
$28,000 #ElectricVehicle SUV to lead China’s entry into European market. Don’t underestimate their chances. At inflection points when new tech comes to market, new entrants can take major market share. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Here’s an exciting British plan to reduce #energy use, create 450,000 #jobs and upgrade UK’s #housing stock by 2030. The devil is the the details, but this is the kind of thinking we need. #ClimateEmergency #energyefficiency
Read the plan: insulate millions of homes, install heat pumps, and pay for it largely with energy savings.
We should be doing this everywhere--"Warm Homes for All."

Turning down an award with a significant financial component (500k SEK = US $50k) @GretaThunberg tells us that “the #climate movement does not need any more awards.” We need action based on science. Crystal clear focus!
I have received the Nordic Council’s environmental award 2019.
I have decided to decline this prize.

Just got my copy (paper not audio) and am very excited to dig in! Reviving our political imagination is up there with the greatest challenges we face - without it, nothing else is possible. #WhatIf
Here is a sample of the audio book version of 'From What Is to #WhatIf'. Available on various platforms, and soon on all of them. Thanks to @chelseagreen. Already hearing from people who are listening to it and enjoying it... soundcloud.com/chelsea-green…
“Jersey Shore University Medical Center recently hosted a zero food waste dinner that was all plant-based. The chefs enjoy these opportunities because...working on plant-forward dishes has expanded their opportunities to be innovative.” @WRIFood @waiterich #zerowaste #plantbased

“When they look at menus that say, ‘Well [these are] the vegetarian dishes,’ or ‘[these are] the vegan dishes,’ it kind of immediately signals to them that unless they’re vegan or vegetarian, that it’s not for them. It’s for someone else. It’s for a different tribe.”
“We found that removing terms like “vegan” or “vegetarian” or “meat-free” and using language that talks about the taste, the excitement of plant-based food can actually increase the amount that people order.” - @venoir to @wamu885 bit.ly/2MCth3l #CoolFood #SustFoodFuture
Another data point as the monolith shifts: mainstream business media bastion @FinancialTimes now says, “The long-term health of free enterprise #capitalism will depend on delivering profit with purpose.” aboutus.ft.com/en-gb/new-age…
