The San Xavier talussnail, one of the world's rarest, lives exclusively on a single Sonoran Desert hill. These hermaphroditic snails can live up to 10 years, estivating for three and active only 3-4 days annually. Monsoon rains prompt their emergence from rock crevices to feed on lichen.

These unique snails are central to a major lawsuit filed by the Center against the Trump administration. The suit challenges the administration's failure to protect 241 endangered species, many facing imminent extinction.

Does circular economy terminology create misleading understandings, hindering its real-world implementation? Businesses and policymakers frequently discuss the challenges of transitioning to this new economic system, grappling with barriers like finance, policy, and supply chains.

While these are crucial, an often-overlooked challenge lies in the words and terminology themselves. This group will explore why choosing the right terms is as vital to the transition as finding alternatives to single-use plastic, identifying influential words and phrases.

Oceana's new report reveals the beverage industry could prevent 7.6 billion plastic bottles (a 22% reduction) from polluting our oceans annually. This significant decrease is achievable by

Oceana's new report reveals the beverage industry could prevent 7.6 billion plastic bottles (a 22% reduction) from polluting our oceans annually. This significant decrease is achievable by increasing the volume of soft drinks and water sold in refillable bottles by just 10%.

To protect marine life, Oceana calls on companies to publicly commit to reducing single-use plastic production and increasing their share of refillable bottles. Learn more about this initiative and join our community of Wavemakers: http://bit.ly/2U516hQ.

While climate change is a global challenge, modest actions can drive significant impact. An Oxford team is applying concepts like snowball effects and tipping points to human systems, seeking "sensitive intervention points" to accelerate the transition to a post-carbon world.

Professor Cameron Hepburn, Director of Environmental Economics at Oxford's Smith School, leads this research. A Rhodes Scholar with diverse academic and professional experience, he has published widely and advises governments and international institutions on energy and environmental policy. This talk was delivered at a TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

This session, streamed via Restream.io, addresses the pressing environmental impact of takeaway coffee cups, focusing on wastefulness and recyclability challenges. There's growing demand for improved design, reuse, and recycling solutions to combat ocean plastics and other waste concerns.

Join us to learn how DS Smith is tackling this problem. They developed a scalable coffee cup recycling solution for standard paper mills and launched their innovative Coffee Drop Box. We'll also hear from the Head of Environment at a major UK coffee retailer, discussing the challenges of single-use cups and the roles of reuse and recycling in changing consumer habits.

Five years ago, Lactips pioneered the world's first environmentally friendly plastic, crafted from industrial casein and natural additives. This 100% biosourced, biodegradable material boasts specialty plastic properties, including gas barrier, water solubility, and edibility.

Its unique, patented technology offers a significant opportunity to transform non-biodegradable flexible packaging and substitute single-use plastics in detergency, food, and building applications.

Explore Lactips' journey, scalability, and challenges with founder Marie-Hélène Gramatikoff. Watch the session here.
