In this modern-day life, connection to nature has oftentimes been overlooked. We get so caught up in our

day to day lives without realizing that we are losing touch with nature.

As the world celebrates Earth Day, let us appreciate the beautiful world we live in and take action on how we can help [even in our own little ways] to protect our planet.

And I just did an episode on the Happy Hustle Podcast, sharing the 11 tips to help save our planet. I know you're going to get so much value on this.

Here are the 11 action tips to make a difference every day of the year!

1. Avoid Plastic Disposables

Plastics are the worst.

2. Volunteer to Clean Up

Volunteering to clean up is one of the simplest Earth Day tips because you really don’t need to join any group effort or organization.

3. Plant Trees

One of the best ways to help the Earth, whether on Earth Day or any of the other 364 days of the year, is to plant some trees. Planting trees is an easy way to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and a great way to counter deforestation.

4. Eat Local

Eating locally is a great way to support local farmers and small businesses in your community and region, among other economic benefits.

5. Recycle What You Can

If you do happen to have a disposable plastic bottle or bag, then make sure you recycle it properly.

6. Do Carpool

Don't drive alone. When you drive your car by yourself, you are putting a lot of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

7. Take Shorter Showers

The Earth, at first glance, seems to have unlimited water. And it’s true, in a sense, as more than 70% of the Earth’s surface is water.

8. Go Meat-Free

A vegetarian or vegan diet is much better for our environment than one which includes meat, believe it or not, and there are several reasons why this is so.

9. Unplug Your Devices

One of our easiest Earth Day tips is to simply unplug your electronics when not in use.

10. Donate Your Money, Belongings & Time

You don’t have to change your habits or do physical labor to help the environment, just donate.

11. Don’t Stop After Earth Day

Earth Day might be only one day a year, but these Earth Day tips are important to keep in mind each and every day.

Let’s protect our beautiful planet fam and be a part of the solution to climate change! 

Make every day Earth Day!

You’re forgiven if you missed Earth Day last week. I’m sure sustainability and climate change are far from many people’s minds right now as you grapple with a new normal that might involve sick loved ones, loss of a job, or serious challenges in your day-to-day life. 

Of course, our planet continues to face the same environmental challenges it did before the pandemic.

Danone, the French multinational yogurt and dairy products company, certainly agrees; the company, a classified B-Corp, is a frontrunner in the food industry for tackling sustainability issues — recently recognized for its work reducing deforestation — and last year launched a coalition to look into the widespread adoption of regenerative agriculture practices in the dairy sector. 

Working with Danone in that coalition is Connecterra, a Dutch AI startup using data and analytics to help dairy farmers become more efficient. Connecterra is charged with measuring the impact of different farming practices as the coalition looks to create a set of guidelines for farmers at the end of the initiative in two years’ time. (Full disclosure: Connecterra is an AgFunder portfolio company.)

So I sat down today — virtually of course — with Cees Jan Hollander, global director of farm relations at Danone and Yasir Khokhar, CEO of Connecterra, to find out how the coalition “Farming for Generations” is going and check in how Covid-19 is impacting their businesses. If you’re reading this, you’re no doubt aware of the devastating impact Covid-19 is having on the dairy industry after food service demand dried up and you’ve no doubt seen the upsetting videos of large amounts of milk being dumped in the countryside.

Hollander and Khokhar offer some fascinating insights there — hint: consumer demand for milk products has increased dramatically; as Khokhar referenced “breakfast is having a come back with everyone being at home.” We also discuss how the pandemic is accelerating other trends such as a move towards more localized production, which happens to fit neatly into Danone’s existing local production strategy.

Throughout the years, the idea of sustainability has changed and the metrics by which we measure how sustainable we are have shifted. So where are we on the sustainability timeline? And what should we be focusing on to become more sustainable in business and in life? To answer those questions is Science journalist Wade Roush, and Patrick Flynn, the Vice President of Sustainability at Salesforce. On this episode of IT Visionaries, they discuss the current state of the sustainability efforts, as well as the lessons they’ve learned from the past and how to prepare for and evolve in the future.  

• Corporate sustainability programs need to start in the places that are most relevant to the company as a whole

• Prioritizing your efforts is important so that you do not get overwhelmed by the scope of the problem
• Creating simple, repeatable frameworks that other companies can implement will be a difference-maker in the fight against climate change

Imagine you’re an environmentalist fresh out of school and you’ve just landed your first opportunity in the corporate world. You’re excited and eager to take on the challenges ahead of you. The only problem is, instead of saving the world and finding new ways to make a difference, you’re looking at spreadsheets...for hours. Welcome to the world of greenhouse gas accounting, or at least the old world. On this episode of IT Visionaries, we brought in two industry leaders who are making a difference. Ari Alexander, GM of Salesforce Sustainability Cloud, and Shengyuan Su, Program Manager, Sustainability at Salesforce, join the show to discuss how Salesforce’s Sustainability Cloud is changing the way environmentalists report emissions, why companies voluntarily report their carbon emissions and how the private sector is being asked to lead the charge for governments around the world.

Key Takeaways:

• Movement in the industry is happening and a lot of that movement is based on peer pressure and the fear of bad publicity

• Governments are asking private sector companies to carry the torch when it comes to carbon accounting because they believe companies are further along in the process
• The vast majority of Fortune 1000 companies were using spreadsheets to do their annual greenhouse gas inventory. The Sustainability Cloud was designed to help companies better understand their carbon footprint and more efficiently report it
