Let's play a game. By now, we've all heard of venture capitalism: investing in high-potential companies with an expectation of financial returns on investment (ROI). But what would our investments look like if environmental returns came first, profit second? What if the 'triple bottom line' weren't just greenwashing? What if we could shift our values as a society to reflect the importance of natural systems on our literal livelihoods? This is some of the work we're doing at Howell Conservation Fund - investing in promising companies and nonprofits to accelerate their environmental impact, placing the highest priority on their ecological returns. Check out the latest Exponent Philanthropy podcast episode, where HCF Founder Brett W. Howell and I talk about the principles of 'venture philanthropy' and how to apply them to the environmental sector.

This International Day of Action for Rivers, let's take a look at how the @TerraCycleGlobalFoundation is protecting rivers and preventing ocean pollution at the same time. By partnering with local communities to build, adapt, and maintain river trash capture technology, the Foundation pulls 16,500 pounds of waste from rivers and waterways each week—before it can flow into our oceans. 🌊 In 2023, the Foundation committed to going even further by making a Clinton Global Initiative “Commitment to Action” (CTA) to launch a material recovery center for waste management in Southeast Asia. How can you take action for rivers today? Start by supporting the Foundation’s mission. Learn more and donate: https://lnkd.in/exxXWzpF

New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced budget cuts that, if enacted, will essentially wipe out #communitycomposting infrastructure in #NYC, as well as threaten widely used #foodwaste drop-off sites operated by GrowNYC at Greenmarkets throughout the city. “NYC has long been a leader not only in #composting, but community composting … that keeps the composting process and #compost use local, while offering community engagement and education opportunities,” according to Institute for Local Self-Reliance. ILSR’s 2022 Community Composter Census identified New York as home to the largest concentration of community composters in the U.S.—a thriving ecosystem of local businesses, environmental nonprofits, and neighborhood gardens. #climate
