A lot of us are trying to live more sustainably, but big companies are still causing major harm to the environment. Shouldn’t they be held responsible too?

I came across a petition in the UK that calls for fines on companies that don’t reduce their emissions in a certain amount of time. If this sounds like something you’d support, take a look and see if you want to back it: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/700612/sponsors/new?token=b1fBnccBFq14SxXE3RBU

Hi everyone,

I think we can all agree that life can be incredibly unfair. One person is sitting comfortably, enjoying their favorite meal, while someone else on the other side of the world is witnessing their family being torn to shreds—how horrific. Somewhere else, a person has to walk miles just to fetch water infested with bacteria, while another person only needs to extend their arm for the bottle of clean water that’s on their table.

There are countless societal problems in the world—hunger, water scarcity, climate change, education inequality, homelessness, and more. While many people don’t have the financial means to make a difference, they might have the right words, strategies, or ideas to create change.

I’m building a social crowdfunding platform where users can discuss these issues, raise awareness, and propose actionable solutions. The platform promotes collaboration by allowing users to outline solutions in multiple phases. It fosters a community for sharing ideas, engaging in meaningful discussions, and working together to tackle real-world challenges. Leaders can also create and lead projects that the community can follow and support.

The beta will be private and launches on November 30. I’m looking for people interested in joining this journey, providing feedback, and helping shape the platform. If you’re Interested in participating or would like to get to know more about me or the project, you can message me on reddit or add me on discord to have a chat (itsomidkhber).

Thank you for reading, and I will appreciate your input!

Hi Everyone!

Is anyone passionate about environmental justice—especially flooding in underserved communities—available for a short informal interview? I have a class assignment that requires me to interview a topical expert. This may include students, researchers, academics, or professionals. I am happy to work around your schedule and only take as much of your time as you can give.

I appreciate any help or referrals!

Hi all!

I am at a loss and looking for some outsider perspective/advice. I created a local Green Team group for my city early this year. I have been working in sustainability/enviro for nearly a decade now and always want to do more for our planet. I post regularly on our Green Team FB group, host monthly meet ups at a local brewery and organize events to participate in. However, I have had ZERO engagement outside of FB likes. No one shows up to monthly meetings (casual, meet like-minded folks and have a beer), no one helps in local events, nothing.

I know there are enviro focused people in my city (I live in MA, we are quite progressive), I've talked to them in one off interactions. However, the follow through is never there. I am persisting but I would love some outside advice.

What gets you to jump into action locally? What events do you look for and actually participate in? Any other thoughts, I would LOVE to hear it.

Thank you!

Tower Hamlets council, a London borough, has decided to rip out £2million of green infrastructure, including:

Segregated cycle paths

Public spaces and pocket parks

Traffic calming measures

These improvements have reduced air pollution, decreased traffic and encouraged active sustainable transport in the borough.

This is all now at risk because of lobbying by a minority of people who own cars (Only 30% of local households own a car).

See the amazing difference before and after before the scheme went in: https://x.com/SaveBGstreets/status/1843366003008479240 https://x.com/SaveBGstreets/status/1842150991325511992

A petition organised by Save Our Safer Streets is running to stop this backwards move. Whether you live in Tower Hamlets or not, your signature can help. This sets a dangerous precedent for other areas in London and beyond. Please sign and share!
