We should all be actively involved in collective work, meaning work not focused on the next big quarter but instead on tearing down the collective apathy of our future. This is the work of our lives: not against the government or each other or to collectively make someone a billionaire many times over. Instead, it…
You might fondly remember Earth Days past when poetic responders covered our various screens to give us all the feels. Many of those were brands celebrating the happy glow of loving the planet we’ve taken for granted. Crayons, furniture, beer, clothing, pharma concerns, condoms–name your category, and there’s an Earth Day homage tucked away in…
Perhaps like me, you have ordered something small from Amazon and had it shipped to you in a box that was twice as large as needed. Or you placed multiple orders over a few days and the items were shipped in two packages when they could have easily been shipped in one. Perhaps you’ve noticed…
For all its good intentions, advertising around the climate crisis has yet to break through. The perils of the current Covid-19 crisis have snapped the world into large-scale action, but activists have never managed to create similar urgency around the slow burn of a degrading planet.

Jeff Bezos took to his personal Instagram account on Monday to announce the launch of the Bezos Earth Fund, a $10 billion global initiative to undertake the existential threat of climate change.

Brands and business leaders try to outcry and outdo each other with big promises and pledges, like chattering bids at a cattle auction. The bidding war might benefit…

When digging into the various departments, bureaus and agencies that legislate in massive countries, it’s easy to be surprised by some of the groups you come across. America, for example, has 57 federal agencies that begin with the letter C. So when a non-profit in Canada created a fictitious Canadian Bureau of Foreign Apologies, it…
Last month I got to attend a Climate Reality Leadership conference here in Minnesota. Organized by Al Gore, it was attended by lots of the usual suspects, the people we usually count on to protect our world. But as I listened to Gore speak about the solutions in our grasp, I realized who the audience…
Donald Trump might not be able to buy Greenland, but a group of activist creatives are hoping that Jeff Bezos will fork over some of his cash to purchase the Amazon rainforest. It might be a joke, but the sentiment behind it is very real. As fires continue to ravage the world’s largest rainforest, the…
