Esther Bonney faced unimaginable grief when she lost her brother to suicide at just 12 years old. Seeking solace, she found healing in nature, particularly through her local creek in Charles County, Maryland. This led to a passion for native pollinators and ecosystems, culminating in the founding of the nonprofit Nurture Natives in 2022.

Nurture Natives promotes biodiversity in the Chesapeake Bay region, partnering with community organizations to host educational programs and plant giveaways. The nonprofit has engaged over 15,000 youth, planted 3 million native seeds, and restored 420 acres of habitat. Recognized with the 2024 Presidential Environmental Youth Award, Bonney aims to expand this healing initiative nationwide.

Following the successful deployment of Interceptor 007 in LA's Ballona Creek, two additional Interceptors will be deployed in the Los Angeles and San Gabriel Rivers.

Together, these three Interceptors will address the 410 to 628 tons (820,000 to 1,384,503 lbs) of plastic that flows from the city to the ocean.

Interceptor 007 in Los Angeles' Ballona Creek will soon be joined by two more Interceptors in the Los Angeles and San Gabriel Rivers by 2028. This expansion aims to prevent 410-628 tons of plastic

Interceptor 007 in Los Angeles' Ballona Creek will soon be joined by two more Interceptors in the Los Angeles and San Gabriel Rivers by 2028. This expansion aims to prevent 410-628 tons of plastic (820,000-1,384,503 lbs) from flowing from the city into the ocean. Los Angeles is a key part of our 30 Cities Program, which seeks to tackle one-third of all river plastic pollution globally by 2030.

From Oscar-nominated filmmakers Betsy West and Oren Jacoby, "This Is Not a Drill" documents three unlikely heroes confronting the powerful fossil fuel industry amidst escalating extreme weather. Justin J. Pearson rallies a multiracial coalition against a crude oil pipeline in Memphis, Roishetta Ozane transforms personal loss into political action in Louisiana, and Sharon Wilson, a former oil insider, exposes invisible methane leaks in Texas.

Backed by John D. Rockefeller's descendants, this coalition uncovers "Big Oil’s Big Con"—an industry promoting fossil fuels while disguising the truth. This Patagonia film showcases how courage, grit, and determination can inspire grassroots victories against powerful forces.
