People that have never been or lived in D.C. are cheering Trump’s deployment of National Guard. Like, oh, the Dupont farmers market, people relaxing at Meridian Hill park, and outdoor patio seating at a restaurant! The horror and carnage!!!

In a sea of bad news in ESG, this is some really cool good news! The SEC approved the first National stock exchange for ESG and sustainability offerings. www.esgdive.com/news/sec-app...

1) Growing up as an environmentalist kid in the 90s with Captain Planet, I am very excited about this new incarnation and comic book series!
2) Captain Planet’s response to a “woke” comment is everything 😂

Cory Booker with the longest Senate speech in history. Reminding us that we have to fight back, we have to keep on going, we have to continue to support each other and our communities. Thank you, Senator Booker, for this!

Listening to Cory Booker speak truth to power while working today. I usually listen to chill music but this is so much better! First time in a while that I’ve felt any semblance of optimism.

When I was growing in my ESG career, there were a few people I was told I “had to know” in terms of listening to & following what they said.
Mark Carney was one of those people, being a giant in the world of sustainable finance. I’m excited for him, for our neighbors to the North, and for the world!

Hopping on Bluesky. Work in #ESG and #climate reporting. Would love to connect with people in #sustainability, #dei, and climate science. And really anyone interested in similar fields.

With Gensler stepping down as SEC chair and a likely replacement that is not nearly as pro-ESG, the US is likely going to fall further behind with national ESG reporting regulations.
