Dr. Morgan Levine, author of "True Age," outlines three dietary factors for longevity: quantity, quality, and timing. Caloric restriction (a 20% reduction) has shown lifespan benefits in animals, possibly by preventing overeating. A plant-based diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole foods while limiting animal products and refined sugars, is also beneficial. Fasting, or time-restricted eating, may mimic caloric restriction benefits via 'hormesis,' boosting resilience to aging.

Optimal diet is individual, influenced by genetics and age, and should be monitored via biological age and well-being. Dr. Levine, a former Yale professor now at Altos Labs, researches aging systems. For more, watch "The science of super longevity" or read the transcript on Big Think.

Adopting environmental and social sustainability principles enhances performance, with an ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) corporate culture fostering long-term success. This is detailed in research by Harvard Business School's George Serafeim, co-authored with Robert G. Eccles (Harvard Business School) and Ioannis Ioannou (London Business School).

Their paper, "The Impact of a Corporate Culture of Sustainability on Corporate Behavior and Performance," highlights these benefits. Download the working paper. Courtesy of FS Insight and Holland Financial Centre.

California boasts a 150-year legacy of environmental leadership, protecting wilderness, restricting oil drilling, regulating emissions, and boosting energy efficiency. Its foresight was recognized in the 1963 Clean Air Act, granting a waiver for stricter state standards—a tool still vital today in challenging national CAFE standard changes.

Explore California's pioneering environmental policy, examining its successes and challenges. The state has committed to 100% zero-carbon electricity and carbon neutrality by 2045. Experts, including John Hofmeister (Shell), Bob Holycross (Ford), and Mary Nichols (CARB), will discuss this bold move for the world's fifth-largest economy. Learn more at https://climateone.org/.

Building materials contribute an estimated 5 to 15 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. Imagine using materials that not only require less carbon to produce but also actively capture and store it. In California, architect Dylan Johnson and Yvon Chouinard, alongside a seasoned crew, constructed two houses using straw bales that would otherwise have gone to waste.

This innovative project demonstrates that natural building isn’t just better for the climate—it’s a superior way to build. Watch "Home, Grown" to learn more.

The killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery have sparked a crucial reckoning with systemic racism, police violence, and inequality in America. These racist ideologies fuel not only social injustices like income disparity, poor housing, and pollution in vulnerable communities, but also hinder the environmental movement by suppressing vital voices.

This "Saving Life on Earth" webinar will explore justice, police brutality, diversity, and biodiversity, emphasizing the critical need to align environmental efforts with the fight against racism. We all share a personal and institutional responsibility to drive lasting change.
