It’s the time of year when many set – and break – resolutions. The science of habit formation actually supports using “the fresh start effect”, like a new year, to kick start new habits.

I heard a story this week about a school superintendent for a small town in Massachusetts. On the Monday morning after Hurricane Maria, thirty-five families had evacuated Puerto Rico and rented rooms in a small motel. They had only the possessions they could carry and were hoping to register their children for classes. Very little English was spoken. The school district had no one who spoke Spanish. The Superintendent’s first call was to the pastor of a local church. She called other local not for profits and church leaders. And soon, an army of love and support and translators surrounded thes ..read more

For the past two weeks, much of the sustainability world has been participating, or keeping an eye on, what’s happening in Sharm-El-Sheikh, Egypt during COP27. The annual United Nations Climate Change conference is where world leaders and their teams negotiate targets and solutions for stabilizing the climate. It attracts over 40,000 participants from activists to delegates to corporate leaders. It’s not without controversy or frustration.
