I believe in the power & promise of a Restoration Economy. Where we restore our damaged soils, forests, grasslands, mangroves & coral reefs. While creating jobs & helping to address climate change. Check out my TEDxBoston talk on the Restoration Economy: bit.ly/3HgVgRI

The Sun is 99.8% of all mass in our solar system.
Even if you somehow burned Jupiter and everything that is not the Sun in a fusion reactor, the Sun would still round up to 100% of all energy.
The Sun is all that matters long-term.

🇬🇭 Ghana is the world’s #2 cocoa exporter- but it came at a cost: deforestation & soil loss.
Now, farmers are restoring land, planting trees & boosting incomes.

🌱 There’s a right way- and a wrong way- to grow trees.
#WCA2025 kicked off today in #Kigali ! It’s the perfect moment to reflect on how we grow trees on farms.
Let’s make every tree count. Read more on how: 👉bit.ly/3IW2Mpr

It’s no longer about wins and losses. It’s about basic humanity and the triumph of the human spirit. Tatum will be back. Until then nothing else matters. #celtics

El próximo 9 y 10 de abril, #Chile será sede de la Reunión Anual de la Iniciativa 20x20, una alianza latinoamericana liderada por 18 países miembros que buscan cambiar las dinámicas que llevan a la degradación de las tierras y buscan restaurar 50 millones de hectáreas al 2030.
Para conocer los avances de la jornada, que se realizará en la ciudad de #PuertoVaras, y que tendrá como lema “Paisaje multifuncionales para el bienestar de las personas”, es que recibimos a una Una delegación del World Resources Institute (WRI).
El Presidente @gabrielboric nos ha dicho que debemos apoyar y promover todas las iniciativas público - privado que buscan, en este caso, mejorar la recuperación de suelos agrícolas y forestales, la biodiversidad y los servicios ecosistémicos para el bienestar de las comunidades y las personas.
Finally free.

If optimism feels ridiculous now, try hope. My latest for @TIME:

Hope can sound soft and squishy, but it's in fact a strategy that helps us innovate, persevere, and succeed. It's also a learnable skill.

Some people are ruled by their beliefs—they will torture themselves for the sake of an idea.
Others are ruled by their emotions—they will change their mind a thousand times in search of what feels good.
A healthy mind acknowledges both, but is ruled by neither.
