Mining giant Vale has obtained a preliminary license for its Bacaba project, the first step toward doubling its copper production in the Brazilian Amazon over the next decade.

Experts warn the expansion will worsen deforestation, increase water stress and raise the risk of pollution.

The TURNOUT for Wildlife Rescue Center and the creatures they take care of was off the charts for #EarthGives2025.

Never underestimate the power of a modest #nonprofit building a community of supporters over years. The folks in Ballwin #Missouri have friends and their friends have friends.

Forgive the basic post, yet what #nonprofit doesn't need a bit of help with its social shares, posts, content, graphics?

✋✋✋
So it was a delightful surprise to see the graphics toolkit we created for #EarthGives2025 transformed into beautiful posts by @Lovethe.earth.

She rallied her connections to give to the nonprofit she cares about through her Peer-to-Peer fundraising page.
Congrats! 🥳

These free pages can be set up by all kinds of supporters to spread such opportunities more widely than a nonprofit may be able to.

Board members and board chairs can be leaders at critical moments, with building capacity, and as a sounding platform.

In this case, Melissa Walton raised the roof for @runonclimate.bsky.social Education Fund through Earth Gives 2025.

Bill, your voice inspires ours.
And together, we’ll keep speaking—
for clean energy, for justice, for a livable future.
Your legacy is not a whisper.
It’s a movement.

💚 With gratitude and admiration,
Earth Gives and all of your fellow nonprofit colleagues.

...that matches the scale of the crisis.

During Earth Gives, Bill raised not just funds,
but exhibited his ongoing courage to act.
As one of the campaign's top fundraisers for ClimateVoice (which he founded),
he embodied what it means to give deeply—
to the planet, to people, to possibility.

Now, as ALS takes his physical voice,
his influence rings louder than ever.
Every policy he’s shaped,
every company he’s challenged,
every person he’s inspired

of those demanding climate action

At Google, he turned data into clean power.
At Facebook, he gave sustainability a home.

Through @climatevoice.bsky.social, he reminded us all

That leadership means speaking truth
even when it’s inconvenient,

🌎 An Ode to Bill Weihl

There are voices that never fade,
even when sound itself slips away.
Bill Weihl’s voice is one of them—
steady, reasoned, bold.

Long before climate became a corporate headline,
Bill was already rewriting what responsibility could mean.

Men are twice as likely as women to own an EV, according to U.S. vehicle registration data.

High costs, poor public charging and manly marketing have skewed the electric car industry toward men, but women are encouraging their peers to go electric.
Can electric cars shed their tech-bro reputation and appeal to women?
