Beyond Plastics hosted a discussion with investigative journalist Sharon Lerner and former 3M scientist Kris Hansen. Hansen discovered PFOS/PFAS "forever chemicals" in public blood.

On December 3, 2007, the ICCFoundation highlighted efforts in biodiversity conservation. This work focuses on overcoming political opposition to ensure wilderness freedom.

The Patagonia Land Trust, also known as Conservacion Patagonica, has been instrumental in these efforts. This organization, dedicated to preserving critical lands in southern Chile and Argentina, established two national parks under the stewardship of Kris and Doug Tompkins.
