Communities in Ecuador's Amazon rainforest have sent a heartfelt video message to Chevron CEO John Watson: "We don't want to continue dying of cancer."

This urgent appeal calls on Chevron to clean up its massive contamination of the Ecuadorian Amazon. The pollution has devastated the environment and continues to cause widespread cancer, birth defects, and other severe health problems.

The message was originally published in January 2010.

With resource and energy prices becoming increasingly volatile, the long-term viability of today's linear economy is in question. This raises the idea of favoring access and performance over ownership of goods.

A short animation from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation introduces this concept, illustrating how a performance model could benefit businesses, users, and the wider economy. This approach is a vital component in the transition to a regenerative circular economy.

Sailors for the Sea's Clean Regattas program empowers sailors and race organizers to reduce their environmental impact. This certification program helps events achieve higher environmental standards.

For instance, 14 regattas have already eliminated single-use water bottles, demonstrating the "Ripple Effect." Commit your regatta to being clean and green by visiting the Clean Regattas program page.

This visualization illustrates the rise in global temperatures from 1880 through the end of 2013. NASA scientists report that 2013 tied for the seventh warmest year since 1880, continuing a significant long-term warming trend. Notably, with the exception of 1998, the ten warmest years on record have all occurred since 2000, with 2010 and 2005 ranking as the hottest.

The visualization displays a running five-year average global temperature, compared to a 1951-1980 baseline. A color-coded map shows surface temperature anomalies, with red indicating higher and blue indicating lower than normal temperatures. Credits include Animator Lori Perkins, Producer Leslie McCarthy, and Scientists James Hansen Ph.D. and Patrick Lynch.

British ocean rower and environmental campaigner Roz Savage discusses plastic pollution, labeling it a "man-made global catastrophe." Her solo row from San Francisco to Hawaii provided first-hand experience with the problem's immense scale, including meeting scientists on a "Junk craft" hundreds of miles east of Hawaii to share research.

The core message is clear: we must reduce our plastic use. Each individual can significantly lessen their consumption, making a positive global difference.
