"It also brings other benefits. No chemicals are needed. The sheep selectively eat weeds and invasives (Lamb Mowers won’t serveany lawns treated in the last six months). Carbon from the grass is returned to the soil as sheep pellets. One 2006 study found replacing sheep for lawn mowers cut net emissions by more than a third (980 kgCO2e/ha/year). If you embrace the natural lawn and 'no mow' movement, the sheep help you make the transition from sod to meadow, and keep it healthy over time."

"To date, WaterEquity and Water.org have reached 58 million people through its small loan programs, which are paid back at a rate of 98%, according to the founders. White said they are targeting returns of 6-8% on the $150 million they raised in an oversubscribed fund last year, and then 10-12% for this latest infrastructure fund. The main populations they serve are India, Indonesia, Cambodia, the Philippines and Kenya, where the WaterEquity founders say women are disproportionately impacted by issues of clean water scarcity."

"Niue will buy 1,700 sponsorship units, representing one for each of its citizens. Other launch donors include philanthropist Lyna Lam and her husband Chris Larsen, who co-founded blockchain company Ripple, and U.S.-based nonprofit Conservation International, which helped set up some technical aspects of the scheme."

"The truth is that environmental groups and energy firms today are natural allies in the fight against climate change. That’s why it’s so important for both to continue working together for constructive progress and realistic solutions. No matter what the incentives may be for a few bad eggs, now is simply not the moment to waste valuable time advancing the fiction that energy producers aren’t actively fighting climate change when the record shows they are."

"The volunteers, who camp in a new spot each night as they make their way downriver, collect an average of 70 tons (around 154,000 pounds) of waste from the Tisza each year. The group estimates it has removed nearly 4 million plastic bottles from Hungarian waterways, and all recyclable materials — around 60% of what they collect — is sent to recycling facilities for processing, while the rest is transported to landfills."
