Our purchasing decisions can significantly impact the future of imperiled native grasslands, along with the birds and ecosystems they support. In his TEDxFargo talk, Marshall Johnson, Executive Director of Audubon Dakota and VP of the National Audubon Society, highlights how marketplace choices can help farmers and ranchers conserve grasslands through regenerative grazing. He encourages seeking foods that are better for us and the land, making every day our own Earth Day.

For a decade, Johnson's team has built successful rural and urban community-focused habitat programs. His work in the Dakotas aligns farmers, ranchers, grasslands, and birds in win-win scenarios. Audubon's market-based Conservation Ranching Program now enrolls over 2 million acres across 60 ranches, and he leads the largest urban conservation program in the Northern Great Plains.

Marshall's talk was given at a TEDx event, independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

It was over an ironing board that Jason realized many everyday products are 90% water, contributing to billions of pounds of plastic waste annually. This insight inspired Replenish, a reusable bottle and concentrate refill platform. It empowers consumers to add their own water at the point of use, breaking the endless cycle of waste in consumer goods.

On World Sea Turtle Day, Lilimar, Oceana, One More Generation, and children nationwide delivered over 12,500 letters and drawings to the White House. These messages urged President Obama and Secretary Penny Pritzker to protect threatened and endangered sea turtles in U.S. waters.

Representing all 50 states, the letters called for a simple solution: mandatory use of Turtle Excluder Devices (TEDs) in shrimp nets. These metal grates allow sea turtles and other marine life to escape, preventing their capture by shrimp trawls in the South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico.

Implementing TEDs would save thousands of sea turtles, reduce seafood waste, and create new markets for U.S. shrimpers.

As a high school student in drought-stricken Reno, Nevada, Celeste Tinajero initiated significant environmental changes at Reed High School.

In 2011, she secured a $12,000 grant from GREENevada to replace leaky bathroom fixtures with water-saving technology. Following this success, she spearheaded efforts to install a hydration station, raising funds through reusable water bottle sales to cover asbestos removal.

Tinajero graduated in 2013, leaving a lasting impact. Today, she continues her advocacy by designing sustainable living curricula for local schools and researching for Reno's "Bag the Ban" campaign against plastic bags.

Amazon Watch released "The Chevron Tapes," internal videos showing company technicians mocking contamination in Amazon areas Chevron claimed to have cleaned. The tapes also feature residents

Amazon Watch released "The Chevron Tapes," internal videos showing company technicians mocking contamination in Amazon areas Chevron claimed to have cleaned. The tapes also feature residents denouncing pollution and Chevron's practice of merely covering waste pits. One resident, José, tragically lost three daughters due to this oil contamination.

Chevron dismisses these damning videos as "out of context." However, José's home, once pristine, became a toxic waste dump due to Chevron's actions, including spilling millions of gallons of crude and dumping billions of gallons of toxic wastewater. A former worker corroborates being ordered to dump waste daily. José has waited approximately 30 years for help, underscoring Chevron's responsibility for this environmental crime.

In 2010, New York City's carbon footprint was 54 million metric tons of CO2, equating to 1.72 tons per second. This immense scale of atmospheric pollution is often difficult for most people to comprehend.

Carbon Visuals and the Environmental Defense Fund aim to make these emissions more tangible. They help visualize both the total output and the rate of emission, making the city's environmental impact more understandable.

The Ocean Conservancy underscores the ocean's fundamental role in planetary health. It sustains us daily with food, water, and air, connecting all living things. Recognizing this vital link, the organization advocates that true environmentalism—"going green"—begins with "living blue."

It's time to initiate a significant "sea change" in our approach to global well-being.
