Electric scooters, skateboards, and bicycles are increasingly prevalent in cities like San Francisco and Washington, D.C., sparking varied public reactions. Ride-hailing companies, including Uber and Lyft, are actively acquiring bike-sharing services, signaling a significant shift in urban transportation.

Join Stuart Cohen, Sanjay Dastoor, and Megan Rose Dickey for a conversation on these new urban wheels, their impact on city travel, and their role in cutting carbon emissions.

A Kenyan company is transforming human faeces into eco-fuel, offering a sustainable energy alternative that combats deforestation. This innovative approach addresses energy demand while protecting forests.

The revolutionary fuel, made from human waste, sawdust, and rose waste, burns twice as long as local charcoal with one-third of the emissions. Each tonne sold saves approximately 88 trees, prevents pollution, and creates local jobs.

This initiative, part of the #OurPlanet collaboration with the World Economic Forum, highlights what's possible in tackling climate change and restoring nature.

Colonial oppression severely damaged the relationship between tribal communities and their traditional lands. However, a new generation of First Nations activists is now working to restore these vital connections.

These activists are dedicated to safeguarding Indigenous identity for future generations. Their efforts include protecting traditional territories and sacred sites, while also renewing Indigenous land stewardship practices.

Key figures in this movement include Eriel Deranger (Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation), Valentin Lopez (Amah Mutsun Tribal Band), and Cara Romero (Mohave-based Chemehuevi Tribe).

The Pathways to Planetary Health initiative at the Garrison Institute hosted an online forum on June 24. Garrison Institute Co-founder Jonathan F.P. Rose joined Kate Raworth, Leonora Grcheva, and Erinch Sahan from Doughnut Economics Action Lab (DEAL) to explore Doughnut Economics. This framework defines the goal of economics as "social and ecological wellbeing rather than growth."

The discussion highlighted its global application. Kate Raworth introduced the concept, followed by Leonora Grcheva's insights on city implementation and Erinch Sahan's perspective on business applications. This insightful forum, reflecting the Garrison Institute's "Timeless Wisdom, Timely Action," offered ideas for improving the quality of life for all.
