By mimicking nature’s regenerative principles in our systems and structures, we can create a future where we all flourish, says regenerative futurist Marc Buckley 🌍. https://lnkd.in/dnZQMwYQ

Today is Earth Day! 🌱 With that in mind, we want to share how we contribute to a sustainable future in agri-tech! 🌏 Virtual fences represent a transformative approach to traditional practices by reducing the need for physical resources such as wood, which often entails deforestation and habitat destruction. By utilizing digital fencing technology, we can protect natural habitats more efficiently and reduce the use of harmful chemicals. This not only preserves our ecosystems but also enhances biodiversity. Let's commit to smarter, eco-friendly solutions that preserve our planet for future generations 🌱

Here are 5 ideas on how you can celebrate Earth Day to have the most impact:

Cultivating a Greener Tomorrow: Simple Ways to Make Mother Earth Smile

We are. Today, we mark the day when humanity begins its planetary bankruptcy. Where are we going? Do we all know where we are walking with our family? I do hope we can change! I do believe in us! I do believe we are capable of doing great things! As half of the earth's biodiversity is used to feed us, food becomes a very valid option for us to postpone the date of the day of the overloading of the earth. Choosing foods originating from sustainable, agroecological and regenerative practices, preferring a more natural and organic diet, are ways that would help us revitalize and regenerate the planet ( Earth Overshoot day) It's a fact. Science points out several practices that would help us reverse the process, but we know that the generator of effective change is in us, 'let's (re)start with more commitment and strength? #movethedate

With approximately one third of global greenhouse gas emissions attributed to agriculture, a looming plastic pollution crisis, and the threat of only 60 harvests remaining due to soil mismanagement, the urgency for transformative action within the foodservice industry is indisputable. At Better Earth, we are zeroing in on the packaging side of that equation - which adds up to a lot. We're on a mission to pioneer plant-based packaging that is truly regenerative from field to fork to field. We know it's linear thinking (and linearly designed stuff) that got us into this mess, and it'll only be through active collaboration and circular mindsets that we navigate our way out. In our 3rd annual Impact Report, we hope you see exactly this approach. This was a powerful year in so many ways, and there's much to celebrate. We donated over $34,000 in compostable packaging to community organizations in need and engaged over 16,700 people at closed loop community events like RayDay and Taste of AgLanta. We launched our Climate Smart Packaging program with the Farmer's Fiber Collection, and through the process, identified that the Farmer's Fiber agricultural process sequesters one TON of carbon per acre per year. And the Executive Team signed off on our first-ever comprehensive Environmental Management Plan to define goals and track resource use across all Better Earth operations. We're already on a fast track to meeting our waste reduction goals across Distribution Centers! Transparency has long been a guiding principle at Better Earth. We invite you to check out where we are, how far we've come, and our areas for improvement by reading the Impact Report here --> https://lnkd.in/epNmV6zY

On Earth Day April 22 2024 - this year, we decided to act towards preserving our planet by spreading awareness about the harmful effects of plastic and promoting eco-friendly alternatives. Our weeklong initiative involved distributing cloth bags to both employees and society members as a practical step towards reducing plastic usage. We began with a brief conversation highlighting the detrimental impact of plastic pollution on the environment, emphasizing the importance of adopting sustainable practices. We discussed how single-use plastics, such as bags and bottles, contribute to pollution in oceans, harm wildlife, and pose serious threats to ecosystems. #EarthDay #NoToPlastic #Salesforce #Pledge1% #2024 Pledge 1% Salesforce Following the presentation, we distributed cloth bags to everyone, encouraging them to use these reusable alternatives instead of plastic bags for their everyday shopping needs. The bags were not only practical but also served as a visible reminder of our commitment to reducing plastic waste. The bags were stitched by the local women self-help group with also promoted the companies policy of create opportunities locally. Throughout the week our teams, we engaged in conversations with colleagues and community members, discussing the significance of reducing plastic consumption and the positive impact it can have on the planet. We shared tips on how to incorporate more eco-friendly habits into daily life, such as carrying reusable water bottles and containers, opting for products with minimal packaging, and supporting businesses that prioritize sustainability. As we reflected on the success of the event our Earth Day initiative had become a weeklong event and a lifelong practice, sparked meaningful discussions, and inspire many to rethink their consumption habits. Through simple actions like distributing cloth bags and water containers and raising awareness, we took a step towards creating a more sustainable future for our planet. https://lnkd.in/g_An7NAa

"Saving the whales was never just about saving the whales..." This video is a few years old, but with today's focus on carbon capture and reducing the effects of climate change, its still quite relevant. Whales exhale very little carbon dioxide and store large amounts of carbon in their bodies; when they die, they take that carbon with them to the ocean floor. And whales also contribute to thriving populations of phytoplankton by providing nutrients through whale plumes (you can google that if you want to, but I'll just say I'm happy to source my nutrients elsewhere,) and whale pumps--a vertical movement that helps to bring all that healthy goodness to the surface for the little microscopic organisms to munch on. This creates phytoplankton blooms which are good because not only are the the bottom tier of many aquatic ocean food chains (sorry little guys...) but they are responsible for a large percentage of global carbon capture and storage. How much carbon does one whale store in comparison to a tree? And what percentage of global carbon capture do those little phytoplankton actually capture? Answers in this really cool 4 minute video on YouTube-Check it out. Saving the whales was never about just saving the whales... its about saving us.

"Every plant has a story, and each one contributes to the beautiful tapestry of life on Earth. “🌍 In this small and simple corner of greenery, full of plants with varied developmental stages, I see a reflection of our shared mission towards sustainable development and professional inspiration. Plants remind us that growth isn't instantaneous. It's a process that requires patience, nurturing, and resilience. In the same way, our professional journeys often begin as seeds—full of potential but needing care and time to flourish. As we look to the future, it's crucial to focus on Sustainable Development Goal 15, 'Life on Land,' which calls for the protection, restoration, and sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems. Just as these plants thrive with attention and care, so too can our planet and our professional lives when we prioritize sustainability and environmental stewardship. Let's draw inspiration from nature to build a future where we and our planet can prosper together. 🌱✨ #LifeOnLand #SDGs #Sustainability #ProfessionalGrowth"
