Impactful Ninja’s Post

When donating shoes to kids in poverty, did you know that we can have about five times the positive impact when donating a shoe that grows? 👇 🎥 We’ve just launched a new podcast episode with Andrew Kroes from Because International. Andrew holds a B.A. in Business Management from Northwest Nazarene University, a CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst), and held leadership roles in operations, relationship management, and sales. Then, in 2015, he joined Because International as president. Over the years, Andrew’s favorite part about Because International has been the never-ending journey of wrestling over what it means to “help” and partner with communities. 💚 Because International's mission is to use products as solutions to alleviate poverty. For example, their flagship product, The Shoe That Grows, grows five sizes and lasts for years, created for kids impacted by poverty. They have since learned lots of lessons in the creation, production, and distribution of The Shoe That Grows, and are sharing their experience via their Because Accelerator program, which is designed to help entrepreneurs take their innovative products to the next level. Here are three key points that you'll learn from this episode: ✅ How their founder got the idea for a shoe that grows when he worked at an orphanage in rural Kenya... ✅ How their shoes are different and more impactful over a longer period of time... ✅ How they started a business accelerator program to help locals make a positive impact in their community... 👉 Check out the full episode here: https://lnkd.in/drfYCf5J

Sustainability and nuclear energy are two terms used frequently in discussions about climate change. Experts maintain that transitioning away from fossil fuels and towards sustainable energy sources with a low carbon footprint is necessary for our future. So, we had to ask: How sustainable is nuclear fusion? https://lnkd.in/d_4NaSKa #climateaction #nuclearfusion #nuclearpower #sustainableenergy #climatechange

Green energy is a subset of renewable energy that provides the highest environmental benefits in terms of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and protecting our environment. Nuclear fusion has a low carbon footprint but has faced historically negative public opinion because it is associated with nuclear waste. So, we had to ask: How green is nuclear fusion? 👇 https://lnkd.in/dgziERfY #climateaction #nuclearfusion #nuclearpower #greenenergy #carbonfootprint

Clean energy is the generation of energy from sources that produce virtually no carbon dioxide (CO2) or greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Nuclear fission is one of our most energy-dense sources that is often described as being a clean source of energy. So, we had to ask: How clean is nuclear fission? 👇 https://lnkd.in/g5ZbqA4j #climateaction #nuclearfission #cleanenergy #climatechange #globlwarming

Growing concerns over the climate crisis have prompted many to seek out environmentally friendly ways of living. Nuclear fission has one of the lowest carbon footprints of any energy type, but it has faced negative public opinion over its use of nuclear material. So, we had to ask: How environmentally friendly is nuclear fission? 👇 https://lnkd.in/gNKHJsBQ #climateaction #nuclearfission #greenenergy #nuclearenergy #environmentallyfriendly

Renewable energy is the generation of energy from sources that are flow-limited, naturally replenishing, and virtually inexhaustible. Nuclear energy is often lumped into this discussion because it is a clean energy substitute for fossil fuels. But this doesn’t mean it is also renewable. So, we had to ask: How renewable is nuclear fission? 👇 https://lnkd.in/gCMB3XGK #climateaction #nuclearfission #renewableenergy #nuclearpower #cleanenergy

Green energy is a subset of renewable energy that provides the highest environmental benefits in terms of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and protecting our environment. Nuclear fission has a low carbon footprint but has faced historically negative public opinion over the threat of nuclear waste. So, we had to ask: How green is nuclear fission? 👇 https://lnkd.in/gkYtaEbk #climateaction #greenenergy #nuclearfission #nuclearpower #nuclearwaste

Nuclear fission accounts for roughly 10% of the world’s electricity generation. It can play an important role in the global energy transformation and help transition away from fossil fuels, but it comes with drawbacks as with any other energy source. So, we had to ask: What are the pros and cons of nuclear fission? 👇 https://lnkd.in/g5WfFEZ9 #climateaction #nuclearfission #nuclearpower #cleanenergy #globalenergy

Nuclear fission has become one of our largest global contributors to carbon-free electricity. It could play a major role in our transition away from fossil fuels because it has low levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and minimal environmental impact. So, we had to ask: How effective and efficient is nuclear fission? 👇 https://lnkd.in/gpgsj-kW #climateaction #nuclearfission #nuclearpower #cleanenergy #savetheplanet

Nuclear fission is a clean energy source that is important in reducing global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and mitigating climate change. Over the years, it has come to make up an ever-growing part of our energy mix despite facing negative public opinions over its safety. So, we had to ask: How safe is nuclear fission really? 👇 https://lnkd.in/gHSv3P3H #climateaction #nuclearpower #nuclearfission #nuclearenergy
