dianefrank+FollowSingle Berry, So Much Plastic?!Just saw a pic of Sprouts handing out ONE blackberry in a plastic cup with a lid—seriously, all that waste for a single berry?! People are calling them out for not using paper or just handing them out directly. For a store that claims to be all about sustainability, this feels like a major fail. It’s wild how much single-use plastic we still go through, even when there are better options. Are we really still doing this in 2024? #PlasticWaste #Sustainability #EcoFriendly #Wasteful #SingleUsePlastics #Food00Share
Amanda Carroll+FollowStarbucks Goes Green & Saves Big BucksDid you know Starbucks has turned over 9,000 of its cafes into eco-friendlier hangouts? That means more energy savings, less water waste, and even perks like free refills in real mugs if you sip your latte in-store. They’re also adding EV chargers at select locations, so you can power up your car while you caffeinate. The best part? These green moves save Starbucks $60 million a year—proof that being eco-friendly can be good for your wallet, too! #Starbucks #Sustainability #MoneyHacks #EcoFriendly #CoffeeBreak #Shopping00Share
Amber Mcguire+FollowPanama Canal’s Secret Power MovesDid you know the Panama Canal isn’t just a shortcut for ships—it’s a global trade MVP? At a recent lecture, the Canal’s top boss spilled how this waterway connects 170 countries, slashes shipping routes by 8,000 miles, and keeps $270B in U.S. cargo flowing. Now, they’re doubling down on water storage and launching eco-friendly shipping perks. Plus, a new gas pipeline is coming to boost energy exports. The Canal’s glow-up is wild! #PanamaCanal #GlobalTrade #SupplyChain #Innovation #Sustainability #Transportation8337Share
Vanessa Brown+FollowMicrosoft Buys More Clean Air for the FutureBig news: Microsoft just doubled down on its promise to fight climate change by locking in a mega-deal with Stockholm Exergi. They’re buying enough carbon removal to wipe out the emissions of a small city every year! This isn’t just corporate PR—Microsoft is literally paying to suck CO₂ out of the air and stash it away for good. If this catches on, your next tech purchase could help clean the air, not just clutter your desk. #ClimateAction #CarbonRemoval #Microsoft #Sustainability #GreenTech #Business00Share
fnixon+FollowCoke Japan Goes AI for Faster DrinksHeads up, soda fans! Coca-Cola’s main bottler in Japan is using AI to get your favorite drinks to stores faster and fresher. They’re teaming up with a tech company to streamline deliveries, cut down on wasted stock, and maybe even help the planet by using fewer trucks. But here’s the twist: running all that AI takes a ton of energy, so the eco-wins aren’t guaranteed yet. Still, it could mean fewer empty shelves and more cold Cokes when you want them! #CocaCola #AI #SupplyChain #Sustainability #Japan #LifeHacks #Business00Share
Brooke Martin+FollowNASA’s Supercomputer Predicts Earth’s Expiry DateEver wondered how long Earth has left? NASA and Japanese researchers ran the numbers and, spoiler alert, our planet’s got about a billion years before the Sun turns up the heat and wipes out all life. But don’t panic-pack your bags just yet—this is a slow burn, not a sudden apocalypse. The real takeaway? Our daily choices—like using less plastic or saving energy—matter, because climate change could speed things up. Maybe time to double down on those eco-friendly habits! #ClimateChange #NASA #Sustainability #FutureTalk #EcoLifehacks #Business145174Share
James Brady+FollowSpace Junk Is Piling Up—Here’s WhyDid you know climate change is making our space junk problem even worse? MIT scientists found that as greenhouse gases cool the upper atmosphere, it gets thinner—meaning less drag to pull space debris back to Earth. That could shrink the safe zone for satellites by up to 82% by 2100! With millions of pieces already zipping around, even a blueberry-sized chunk can hit like a falling anvil. Wild, right? Less pollution = less space trash. Who knew saving the planet also meant saving our satellites? #SpaceJunk #ClimateChange #ScienceNews #EarthOrbit #Sustainability #Science40Share
Keith Stokes+FollowDental Company Makes Major Moves for GoodDentsply Sirona just scored Newsweek’s ‘Most Responsible Companies’ honor for the 4th time—and they’re not stopping there. They teamed up with Amazon Doctors to open the first-ever digital dental clinic in a Brazilian indigenous village! This high-tech spot will serve 1,000 people with top-notch care. Love seeing big companies actually making a difference for communities that need it most. Smiles all around! #DentalCare #CorporateResponsibility #IndigenousHealth #GoodNews #Sustainability #Health10Share
Mocatalk+FollowFirst GIS Job—What’s Next for My Career?🌍💻I’ve just started my first GIS job in the energy sector as an entry-level contractor after earning my bachelor’s in geography. While I’m thrilled to break into the field, I can’t help but think ahead to what comes next when this contract ends. I’m not chasing a high salary, but I want a role that’s meaningful and engaging—something more impactful than my current position. I’m considering pivoting to fields like sustainability (urban planning?), non-profits/NGOs, disaster management, or renewable energy (since I’m already in energy). My current job also involves CAD, so maybe engineering could be an option? Should I go back for a master’s degree to boost my chances? The cost is daunting, though. Could I transition into these industries based on experience alone? I’d love to pursue further education, but the price tag is holding me back. What are your thoughts? How did you navigate your GIS career path? #GISCareer #Sustainability #NonProfitWork #DisasterManagement #RenewableEnergy #CareerGrowth #GISJobs61Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowHumidity Hack Could Clean Our AirScientists just found a wild new way to fight climate change—using humidity! Northwestern University researchers discovered that common, cheap materials (even stuff made from waste) can trap and release carbon pollution just by playing with the air’s moisture. It’s like letting nature do the heavy lifting, and it could make carbon capture way more affordable and widespread. Bonus: it helps cut down on trash, too. Imagine cleaning the air and reducing waste at the same time! This could be a total game-changer for fighting pollution. #ClimateInnovation #Sustainability #ScienceWin #CarbonCapture #EcoFriendly #Science21Share
