Can we take waste and create fabrics that delight? Two researchers from Aalto University joined us in our studio to tell the story of how a scarf, made from organic cotton waste, came to be worn by the French President, Emmanuel Macron, and Finland's First Lady.

TAKE ACTION: https://act.biologicaldiversity.org/vjo5u3HvQ0-qJwiNsm7PHA2?sourceid=1008919 Fossil fuel pollution is the leading threat to life on Earth, devastating communities with more and more climate disasters like flooding, fires and storms — and driving species extinct. That's why in September, the Center helped mobilize 75,000 people to come together in New York City for the March to End Fossil Fuels. Our demands are clear. As the leader of the world’s biggest oil and gas producing country, President Biden has the greatest power — and obligation — to start phasing out fossil fuels once and for all. Watch our new video and take action to help make him do it. TAKE ACTION: https://act.biologicaldiversity.org/vjo5u3HvQ0-qJwiNsm7PHA2?sourceid=1008919 ----- About the Center: The Center for Biological Diversity is a 501c3 nonprofit headquartered in Tucson, Arizona. At the Center, we believe that the welfare of human beings is deeply linked to nature — to the existence in our world of a vast diversity of wild animals and plants. Because diversity has intrinsic value, and because its loss impoverishes society, we work to secure a future for all species, great and small, hovering on the brink of extinction. We do so through science, law and creative media, with a focus on protecting the lands, waters and climate that species need to survive. We want those who come after us to inherit a world where the wild is still alive.

What if we bring entrepreneurial zeal to the challenge of responsibly addressing climate change and carbon reduction at the state level? Leveraging resources, telling the truth, and seeking better

What if we bring entrepreneurial zeal to the challenge of responsibly addressing climate change and carbon reduction at the state level? Leveraging resources, telling the truth, and seeking better collaboration between government and the private sector all offer opportunity for progress. David Giuliani is a Northwest serial entrepreneur, electrical engineer and inventor. David grew up in the semiconductor industry, designing some of the world’s first LED products. He then pivoted to medical applications, resulting in over a dozen US patents and multiple business successes. David co-invented the Sonicare(R) toothbrush, and as CEO it became the fastest growing private company in the US, before selling it to Philips Electronics. David also co-invented the Clarisonic(R) face brush, and sold that business to L’Oreal. He was the national Small Business Person of the Year, and the national Entrepreneur of the Year for manufacturing. Best of all he and his teams had fun doing it. David now applies his talents to improving society. He and Howard Behar, former Starbucks president, founded the Washington Business Alliance to solve the state’s most critical problems. The Alliance launched the Low Carbon Prosperity Institute last year, sensing the need to reframe climate issues from “win-lose” to “win-win.” David lives in Friday Harbor and in the Seattle area, and enjoys his family, nature, photography, music, and the human spirit.

As principal founder of the Clean Coalition, Craig Lewis has spearheaded the drive to create resilient, reliable, redundant and sustainable energy grid solutions that are available NOW. Craig studied industrial-scale solar energy deployment in Germany, when that country brought renewables-driven energy resilience to their entire electrical grid. These micro-grids not only generate power locally, where it is needed, they keep generating the energy needed to support core emergency services in times of disaster. Craig Lewis, with an MBA and MSEE from the University of Southern California and a BSEE from the University of California, Berkeley,.has over 30 years of experience in the renewables, wireless, semiconductor, and banking industries. Principal founder of Clean Coalition, Craig has spearheaded the drive to create resilient, reliable, redundant and sustainable energy grid solutions that are available NOW. As Vice President of Government Relations at GreenVolts, he brought solar energy solutions into practice by successfully following California’s Renewable Portfolio Standards. Craig was energy policy lead on Steve Westly’s 2006 California gubernatorial campaign. He has worked at leading wireless, semiconductor, and banking companies such as Qualcomm, Ericsson, and Barclays Bank.
