Chad Frischmann defines "Drawdown" as the point when greenhouse gas concentrations begin to decrease, leading to global cooling and reversing the climate crisis. His team identified existing technologies and practices that, collectively, can achieve this goal. By reframing climate change as a symptom, we can better focus on root causes and solutions. For instance, reducing food waste, responsible for 8% of global emissions, plays a significant role in reaching this pivotal point.

Frischmann, co-author of *Drawdown* and VP of Project Drawdown, works to build a regenerative future. This talk was presented at a TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

Consumer sentiment had shifted away from disposable packaging, especially single-use plastics, until COVID-19 prompted a resurgence. Many assume single-use items are safer due to virus survival on surfaces, but this isn't necessarily true.

For Plastic-Free July, we'll examine a circular model offering a hygienic alternative to single-use. Join 3BL Media, Loop's Anthony Rossi, and UPS's Patrick Browne on July 22 at 2 p.m. ET. We'll discuss Loop's "21st-century milkman" approach during COVID-19 and how circular systems can prevent a backslide on plastic waste.
