Meet John Felts, founder and CEO of Cruz Foam, a company that creates a compostable alternative styrofoam that decomposes in less than 8 weeks.

What began as John’s vision to make sustainable surfboard foam has evolved into a scalable solution to replace millions of tons of single-use plastic packaging. Their innovation represents the kind of future we need, where materials are designed to give back to the Earth instead of polluting it.

The world just reached an important milestone: coal isn’t our biggest source of electricity anymore.

In the first half of 2025, renewable sources overtook coal to become the world’s number one way of generating electricity.

Our total demand for electricity is still going up, but according to energy research organization Ember, the growth of solar and wind power outpaced the increase in demand during the first half of this year. The use of coal fell by 0.6% in the same period.

Burning fossil fuels such as coal and gas is the main cause of climate change, which is making the planet hotter and weather more extreme. Replacing these dirty fuels with clean ones is one of the most important ways of stopping climate change from getting worse.

Much of the growth in renewable electricity generation is coming from China and India. In the United States and Europe, the proportion of fossil fuels actually went up during the period.

Ember’s research draws on monthly electricity data from 88 countries which together account for 93% of the world’s electricity demand, plus estimates for the rest.

Legendary ethologist and conservationist Dr. Jane Goodall passed away yesterday while on a speaking tour in the United States. She remains an ongoing source of inspiration, reminding us all that hope is not passive. But active. It’s going out into the world every day and doing what you can to make a difference. We spoke to her in 2022 and her words remain with us to this day.
