Hosting some of the gang from the @SCOESonoma for our "Reimagine Waste" challenge was a great privilege. The next generation of changemakers inspires me, and I am so optimistic about the future because of these kids. The future looks bright y'all!

I couldn't be more excited and proud of the Brightmark gang for hitting our recent milestone of reducing over 900k tons of CO2 equivalencies through our projects that put waste to work. It's undoubtedly coming full circle, and we're just getting started. #ReimagineWaste

As a frequent diver and fisherman, I care deeply about protecting water. This #WorldWaterDay, find ways to preserve and advocate for sustainable water management, and remember that water is the most valuable resource in the world—it's essential to protect it.
