In case you're debating whether this is a good investment opportunity, a fun fact for you:
Only 25.7% of venture-backed CPG companies are diverse-founded, BUT 40% of those generating significant estimated revenue are diverse-founded.
In other words, there's a better-than-average chance that Arlan Hamilton's Yacht Water will generate returns for anyone investing in CPG.

The #UK#SupremeCourt recently ruled that #Surrey County Council acted unlawfully in granting planning permission to a developer to expand their oil-drilling operations at Horse Hill in the Surrey countryside without considering the negative climate impacts both now and in the future.
The enormity of this decision has the potential to completely alter the landscape for the #oilandgas industry in the #UK.
Local planning authorities (mainly county councils) in the UK are required by law contained in regulations updated in 2017 to conduct an #environmentalimpact assessment before giving planning permission to major oil and gas projects. This process is designed to identify direct and indirect environmental impacts of a proposed project when making land-use planning decisions.
The Supreme Court has made it clear that the indirect effects of taking #fossilfuels out of the ground, which include #greenhousegasemissions caused when they are eventually burnt as fuel, must be included in the environmental impact assessment before development consent may be given.
The developer hoping to extract oil from four new wells in the Surrey Hills, UK Oil and Gas plc, (which has a stake in Horse Hill Development Ltd) has significant interests in several oil projects in the UK. Its statement characterises the court’s decision as “perplexing”.
While Sarah Finch, the campaigner who spearheaded the protest against the permission given to the oil project, wrote that it was an “incredible win” that “could change the future of oil and gas in the UK”.
The applicable law does not prevent local planning authorities from granting permissions to projects that are likely to cause significant environmental harm. But it does require them to reach a reasoned conclusion on the environmental impact and take this into account when granting planning permission. Economic and social factors may ultimately override environmental considerations in the decision, but this process does create opportunities for mitigation, avoidance or remediation of environmental impacts to be considered.
The court observed that oil, more generally fossil fuel, is a unique “object” as it is clearly intended to be burned as fuel from the time it is extracted until it reaches the end-user market, with a detrimental effect on the climate. This differs from other objects like steel, which later transforms into different objects (such as car parts or construction materials). There is a non-fuel use for making materials such as plastics but that only relates to about 2% of the total of extracted fossil fuels.
