Hope House: Celebrating Indigenous leadership at Climate Week NYC! 🪶 At Hope House, we are deeply honored to partner with NDN Collective, an organization committed to building the collective power of Indigenous Peoples. Through this partnership, we aim to elevate the voices and leadership of Indigenous communities who have long been the stewards of our planet. As we come together during Climate Week NYC and beyond, we are reminded of the wisdom and resilience that Indigenous leaders bring to the forefront of the climate movement. ____________________ At Time for Better, we specialize in creative climate communications and consulting.

Photos have a unique way of telling stories. In a recent post, Sophia Kianni highlighted photographer Gregg Saggals’s powerful images of strangers surrounded by a week's worth of trash. What message do these photos convey? They remind us of our throw-away culture and the urgent need for systemic change. It prompts us to reflect: How many bags of trash are you discarding? Have you made any environmental changes to reduce waste, like composting or extending the life of your belongings? ____________________ At Time for Better, we understand the power of visual storytelling.

📸 The trend of using disposable cameras to capture vintage, grainy images is rising—but so is the environmental cost.

This sustainable, easy-to-use digital camera blends the nostalgia of film with eco-conscious materials, helping you capture moments while staying mindful of the environment. ____________________ At Time for Better, we embrace small actions that make a big difference.

🚆 All aboard the future of green travel! California's first zero-emission train leads toward a cleaner, more sustainable tomorrow. California has recently shared its first-ever zero-emission passenger train. The self-powered train will serve the Arrow line in San Bernardino County. The train is fueled by blue hydrogen, which extracts hydrogen from natural gas but stores the carbon dioxide for other uses. They hope to switch to green hydrogen in the future, a process that wouldn’t create the carbon byproduct. More trains like this around the US would help reduce the country’s carbon emissions in transportation.

City lights are casting a long, unintended shadow on our natural world! 🏙️ A recent study has found that streetlights left on all night cause tree leaves to become so tough that insects struggle to eat them, potentially disrupting the food chain. Researchers observed that trees in urban areas, particularly in Beijing, had tougher leaves with fewer signs of insect damage compared to those in rural settings. The study tested two common tree species and found that the more artificial light the trees were exposed to, the tougher their leaves became, likely due to extended photosynthesis. While these tougher leaves may appear aesthetically pleasing, the reduction in insect herbivory could lead to broader ecological consequences, affecting insect populations and the species that rely on them.

It's important to consider more sustainable practices that protect both our urban landscapes and the wildlife that depends on them. We specialize in creative climate communications and consulting. We n believe it’s crucial to raise awareness of how urban environments,can inadvertently affect the natural world. #ClimateCommunication #ClimateSolutions #City #Urban
