@gavinjohnadams Happy birthday, friend!

BP withdraws from industry groups, citing climate disagreements ... a step in the right direction. https://t.co/H2FhYD7JWa

Building a new, #sustainable #economy: we know what to do; we just have to do it. #InvestNYCSDG @NYUSternCSB @TensieWhelan

Exactly! Kudos to @guardian. Welcome to the #BCorp world of evolved capitalism. @BCorporation

[Matthew Weatherley-White @i3impact]

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)

Yikes! That’s a bit of an oversight, don’t you think? @CarlyMGr @bbaue @SustainBrands #NewMetrics

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: https://t.co/J5wUWJAq0E

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.” https://t.co/Gk5wovS1ca

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. https://t.co/c3vsGy9H1g #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. https://t.co/XFw8mWSMp3

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

[Bill McKibben @billmckibben]

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!

“What do you say to other business leaders who don’t want to get political?

“If you have ideas about how to solve certain problems, I think it’s your responsibility as business leaders to speak up.” https://t.co/xZffDLuMhN

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

“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

[SustBizPartners @SustBizPartners]

“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.”

[WRI Food @WRIFood]

“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 https://t.co/ifhpVsGGhU #CoolFood #SustFoodFuture
