Like many of you, we returned from Climate Week this week with a renewed sense of urgency to accelerate our climate action efforts. While many of us live this mission daily, it's always valuable to explore new opportunities for impact and partnership. One key takeaway for our team was the clarion call from Bill McKibben, who emphasized that the single most important thing we can do right now is to mobilize people to align their vote with the climate during this critical upcoming election.
Our Vote4ClimateNow campaign, launched last week, makes it easy for businesses to engage their customers in a bipartisan and lighthearted way about the importance of considering climate when voting. We provide all the resources and assets you need to leverage your reach during this crucial time. We encourage you to utilize these resources, including the amazing graphics produced by Modern Species, and help amplify this message within your networks. Let's empower people to vote with the climate in mind!
Additionally, we were reminded of the incredible value our Regenerative Transition Community of Practice offers to companies. Building on the success of our first cohort—which included participants from Aurora Organic Dairy, Califia, Clif, NSI, Daily Harvest, sweetgreen, Wildway, Rumiano, and UNFI—this curated experience continues to bring together suppliers, distribution, retail, and CPGs alongside leading experts in regenerative transition. There are still spaces and scholarships available for the next cohort, and we’d love for you to be part of this transformative journey.
In collaboration,
