“Nearly every E.U. country with such programs has a recycling rate between 60 and 80 percent, according to an analysis by the Product Stewardship Institute. In 2018, the most recent year for which data is available, America’s recycling rate was 32 percent, a decline from a few years earlier.” Link in bio for full story.

Check out another important conversation and opportunity to learn at @goodworkinstitute Repost from @goodworkinstitute • As we continue with our "Spaces Intended for Us" series in honor of Pride Month, our next offering will be SIFU: An Experience of Transgender Discrimination (Thursday, 6/24). Transgender people are facing more and more discrimination including bans on gender-affirming treatments and procedures that can be essential to their physical and emotional well-being. Raine Grayson shares his story of experiencing horrific transphobia in the medical establishment, and how it almost killed him. There is a difference between creating spaces - whether inside ourselves or in the world - that are “welcome to all” versus “intended for you.” In the former people can come in without assurance of being included. The latter puts attention into creating spaces that take into account the perspectives and needs of the array of human identities too often relegated to the margins, whether Latinx, Black or other people of color; LGBTQ+; people with accessibility needs; immigrants; elders; etc. Spaces Intended for Us: An Experience of Transgender Discrimination will braid strands of mindfulness; stories from personal experience and the media, and; and reflections prompted by these stories and by your own experiences. This weave of considering the universal aspects of narrative, focusing our attention in the present moment, and tuning into our thoughts and questions, will spur our exploration and dialogue of what is; what it could mean to create spaces intended for all of us; and what it would mean for our own Good Work to commit to taking action to get there.

Repost from @soupercozy.souperchill • Not soup-related, but *souper* excited about working on this project with @autonomousenergies & @wefeedbipocfree! We’ve salvaged food grade, 50-gallon plastic barrels to bring Abundance Farms some rain collection systems. Rain collection systems - like the one seen in these photos - can help catch water flowing over impervious surfaces (e.g. a roof) and store it for later use (like watering your garden 😉). Widespread use of these systems can reduce the amount of stormwater runoff (i.e. flood risk & pollution reduction) and decrease demand on drinking water resources! We’re selling on a sliding scale of $80-$120. The purchase of a barrel sends one to Abundance Farms along with any excess funds! Spread the word to all of your gardening buddies and help us make this a success! Reposted from Autonomous Energies: ・・・ Help us bring water to the multiple garden plots @wefeedbipocfree is setting up in Kingston. For every rain barrel you buy, you cover the cost of providing a second rain barrel for Abundance Farm, whose mission is to provide BIPOC fresh and pesticide free produce. Barels are made from salvaged food grade materials. Free pick up in Kingston. $80-$120 sliding scale. Supplies are limited. Any excess funds go directly to Abundance Farms. + + Collab with @wefeedbipocfree @amandanillas @autonomousenergies #raincollection #rainharvesting #homegardening🌱 #kingstonny
