U.S. wetlands, vital ecosystems like marshes and swamps, face an urgent crisis. Half of these critical habitats in the lower 48 states have vanished since the 1780s. A 2023 Supreme Court decision further stripped federal protections, leaving remaining wetlands vulnerable to destruction.

This loss devastates biodiversity; nearly 50% of threatened and endangered species rely on wetlands, with over a third living exclusively there. Wetlands also protect water quality and mitigate flood risks. Act now: Tell the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to protect more critical habitat for wetland-dependent species.

Building materials contribute an estimated 5 to 15 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. Imagine using materials that not only require less carbon to produce but also actively capture and store it. In California, architect Dylan Johnson and Yvon Chouinard, alongside a seasoned crew, constructed two houses using straw bales that would otherwise have gone to waste.

This innovative project demonstrates that natural building isn’t just better for the climate—it’s a superior way to build. Watch "Home, Grown" to learn more.

Tim Wu, the scholar who coined "net neutrality," examines how big tech platforms have reshaped our economy. In his latest book, *The Age of Extraction*, Wu argues that the internet, once seen as a source of widespread wealth and democracy, has instead created new economic classes and fostered autocracy. He proposes solutions to harness technology for the greater good and build a more balanced economy.

Join Tim Wu, author of *The Age of Extraction*, and journalist Laura Sydell on November 10, 2025, to discuss reclaiming economic control. This program is supported by the Ken & Jaclyn Broad Family Fund and partnered with the Center for Humane Technology.

The circular economy offers a compelling business case for product redesign and new operating models. In a live conversation, members of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation team discussed its underlying values and relevant topics.

They explored how the circular economy differs from sustainability or "recycling on steroids," debating whether efficiency or effectiveness matters more, and if a top-down or bottom-up approach is better.

The broadcast featured four experts from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. Watch the full discussion here: https://youtu.be/HtOV_tGBHz8.

Far-right Republicans have launched another congressional "investigation" targeting the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD). CBD condemns this as a fraudulent abuse of power, designed to intimidate opponents. However, CBD remains unintimidated and is prepared to fight back aggressively.

CBD's Executive Director immediately called for Congress to investigate a real scandal: a Chilean billionaire and his mining company spent millions influencing Trump officials to reverse protections for the Boundary Waters Wilderness Area. This mine threatens endangered species and public lands. Suckling offered to testify publicly about these shady dealings, including corporate donations to the "investigators." CBD is committed to protecting wildlife and public resources.

Join members of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation team for a live conversation exploring the circular economy. This compelling concept presents a clear business case for redesigning everyday products and establishing fundamentally new operating models for businesses.

The discussion will delve into critical questions: How does the circular economy differentiate from sustainability or advanced recycling? Is its primary focus on efficiency or effectiveness, and does that distinction matter? Should it be implemented as a top-down or bottom-up approach?

This broadcast features Seb Egerton-Read, Stella Chavin, Sarah O'Carroll, and Laura Franco Henao, who will discuss the underlying values and relevant topics of the circular economy.
